Can You Play The Tenants on Mac?

When it comes to playing games on a Mac as opposed to a computer that runs Windows or even Linux, it always seems to be an uphill battle to get a lot of games to run. Lately, Ancient Forge Studio’s own The Tenants has been a title that Mac users have been wanting to play on their own machines.

Though software like Steam now works on all M1 and M2 Apple Silicone Macbooks and Macs, some games still just don’t seem to make the jump over for one reason or another, computer minimum specs are often the center of the issue though many devs just don’t port the games over at all. But, the good news is that there is a way to play The Tenants on Mac, and we can explain how!

• To get started, just install CrossOver, and boot it up.
• Next, select “Install Windows Application” at the bottom of the screen.

• Your last bit on this end is going to be to right-click Steam once more, toggle to settings, then DXVK Backend for D3D11
• Next, sign into your Steam account and locate The Tenants and begin downloading it.
• Finally, go ahead and play the game!
