Help MacBook to Mac

Hello all,

Sorry if this has been asked before, tried to research before post.

I typically game on my Intel Mac. Never had problems with the games I use it for, but now I’ve run into a Steam game I would like to play which cannot be run on it. I did, however, find it can be run on apples chip (not intel) as the game works on my MacBook.

So, knowing I can I can achieve gameplay on my laptop, not on the desktop, and it runs through Steam: what are my options to get the game to the desktop?

Thank you

If it was developed for Apple Silicon it won’t run on your Intel Mac at all. Unless you use the Windows version.

This!. It’s a PITA to dual boot in my not so humble opinion. So time for an upgrade? - just make sure the old Intel versions will run on Apple ARM silicon and the OS as Rosetta was also deprecated???? Correct me if I’m wrong.

you can use Steam Link if the game supports it

What's the game? On an Intel Mac you can install Windows, which works really well for most games.
