- This tutorial showcases how to play Windows games on Mac for free using the Whisky app. With the latest MacOS update and the power of Apple's gamer porting toolkit, It takes just a few steps to install Windows Steam games on MacBook and start gaming on Mac. Unfortunately, not all Windows games that are on Steam are available to play on Mac so you can play Windows games that are not available on MacOS through an app called Whisky. This method of playing Windows games on Mac will work with any kind of device with MacOS that has an M series chip, whether it's the MacBook Pro M2, MacBook Air M3, or Mac Mini.

Not playing Windows games on Mac, but Steam play unsupported games like Minecraft on Mac, But Paralells and Crossover, or any other windows game playing on Mac fast like that. This is a tutorial / Windows on Mac with Whiskey of run on Mac and FPS to launch games on Mac in 2024. - Розваги
I also just found out that you can get a +50 FPS boost to almost all Mac games by scrolling back up to SMASH the like button
nice ❤
solve Dota 2 for mac please. People will love you forever.
@@SM.Mansoor isnt dota 2 already playable on mac on steam?
Unfortunately its not playable at all even with lowest quality. I’ve tried everything.
My spec: M2 Air, 8C10C
Just use proton
It’s worth mentioning that this only works for apple silicon Macs. If you’re looking to do something similar on Intel Macs, I would recommend setting up boot camp.
At this point u have intel mac why u need da app
@@NandarAung-wl8ln well because macos cant natively run them. if you wanted to run it under macos without duel booting. idk why it wouldnt work it seems like its pretty much wine for macos
@@gamagama69 ik macos can't run most game but dual booting w bootcamp is not that even hard but u have small ssd i see that coming
:(
boot camp is da worst
So for those who don't know, Whisky is a GUI version for apple's Game Porting Toolkit + Crossover's Wine flavour. More experienced mac users can use the terminal method (Apple's official solution), but it has no advantages and Whisky is better overall. Its basically Proton with DX12.
Another comment said: "It will be worse than crossovers in some areas. This is due to it using a older version of wine."
@@CO-kd6sd Yea, I am not sure myself but It is probs running a older version of wine that Does support arm and also does not use anything that the mac does not have. I know that it could be updated but if it works it works ig.
i mean isnt proton just an optimized version of wine with dxvk included?
@@CO-kd6sdYea well the tiny boost in some areas is probably not worth paying for crossover tbh
@@dreaddshorts thank you
One of the best guides I've ever watched - straight to the point and I was pretty much able to follow in real time!
WARNING TO EVERYONE TRYING TO USE THIS: This option is solid for playing some games and even profesional software that is not on mac although if trying to play a game that contains anticheat it will not run it. Reason being is the anti cheat checks the processes being run on the computer. Whiskey only uses wine which does not spoof processes it only spoofs the file location. I have struggled with things like this on linux and my sisters mac before so i just thought everyone should get a fair chance to know.
That means no call of duty warzone right? It won’t play?
@@archiezulu3388 it will not play
@@archiezulu3388 no lol warzone will not play
So valorant won't play 🥲
@@kellyhoang4680 sadly not a lot of games with anticheat will play. One exception is apex legends. I’m not sure about xdefiant because I haven’t tried it yet
Thank you so much! Can you do a video comparison of other software running Windows games on MacOS? Does it improve FPS's? I would love to watch it, thank you so much for your time, I hope your channel keeps growing.
It really works on my m2 MacBook Air. I can't believe it. Thank you so much for showing this app.
Duuude this is awesome, I knew about Wine and all, also using UTM on my M1, but this should finally let me play some of those games I wasn't able to, as well as run some software! Whisky even has built in recipe for installing classic Winamp :D
Hey Bog, just wanted to correct you here: Whisky and Apple's GPTK are just flavours of Crossover's Wine with extra DX12 support, so they run identically to Crossover except in DX12 games, where they run even faster. As for Parralels, it doesn't run windows GAMES, it runs windows itself, so it is MUCH slower.
"Crossover's WINE"
In case anyone is wondering why it's called Whiskey, it's a play off of the translation layer WINE.
WINE is a piece of software that, rather than emulating a machine, it translates all (or as many as it can) Windows API calls into (typically) POSIX calls. This means that the application is actually RUNNING on your hardware, rather than on a virtual machine.
(If you're wondering why it's called WINE, that stems from:
Wine
Is
Not an
Emulator
Kinda a cop-out. It originally, originally stood for WINdows Emulator. When the software became popular, the acronym was changed to Wine Is Not an Emulator."
so whsikey is the best, free and fastest option?
like it wont be any slower or glitchier right? thx
does paralells actually have gpu acceralation? cuz i thought that wasnt possible unless you did passthrough but maybe it automatically does that cuz all macs have integrated graphics if they have a dedicated gpu
@@gamagama69 yes it does
straight to the point, I love it!
Nice addition to my collection of free mac apps.
Congrats on the translation layer 🎉
i was so bored of the free mac steam games and then i found the best youtuber ever!!! So helpful!!!
Bro is my hero of mac content
Hey bog thank you so much for the information now ı can windows games on my Mac
This channel deserves a subscribe
the power this man has over me....
sir, you are a literal LIFESAVER
what mac model are you using and how much RAM do you have?
Thank you so much for the video 👍🙂. I'll try It on my iMac M1. I have wanted to play Quake 2 Remastered on my Mac for a long time 🎉 😂.
IM TRIYNG IT ON RN SO FAR SO GOOD!
It made my day!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH YOU'RE THE BEST +1 SUB
I have one question; when configuring my bottle in Whiskey, mine goes up to Windows 11 for the Windows slab. Should I toggle Windows 11 or keep it at Windows 10 as shown in this video?
TYSM❤!!!!
Real shout-out to Wine and other open source projects behind this and GPTK, which descends from Valve's community investment for Linux gaming :)
Thanks!
I’m pretty sure the answer is no. But can this be used to run Game Pass games by chance? I know they’re UWP which probably adds another layer of complexity so I’m assuming not
I do like to think that the Mac team is competent enough to improve those recent tools they gave gamedevs for porting as well as make win apps just run much better on Mac. I’m assuming that’s gotta come with ARM.
What‘s ARM?
thanks man
Bro discovered Wine
nah bro discovered paid wine
@@OculuKabak yeah lmao
Wish I knew this before getting my own Windows Laptop
Now we want the list of games that we could play and test as well. Try some FPS games.
applegamingwiki
Bro really said: "Do it, test them, NOW."
@@Mr.Puffersonyeah. But we want him to test it before we try on our Mac. lol.
check AppleGamingWiki
According to their website you should be able to play cyberpunk and baldur’s gate 3
thanks!
Is the same applicable for epic game launcher also?
Which mousecape are you using?
Thanks
Worth mentioning that the latest only works on 10.14 Sonoma
the "portingkit" has existed for quite a while and is basically the same thing, it also has pre-configured bottles for games some old games
Not exactly. No directx 12. And success is hit and miss, even more than crossover or whisky.
Whiskey…
Not inspired from Wine at all…
Not a mac user, but this is the most straightforward video I have ever seen
Whiskey va Wine which is better to use for gaming specifically (Swtor)
Hi, I have been trying to do this on my mac but whenever I click on “run” and on “steamsetup” nothing works. I’ve checked, my mac is an M2 chip and should be apple silicone. I’ve tried to delete everything and try again but nothing has worked so far. What should I do?
Actually, whisky can run some games that crossover can’t do as well (like rocket league, for example)
What about free personal license of vmware fusion player? It also can run games, it supports 3d acceleration. I tried a couple of games and they run just fine.
Apple silicon or intel? Which ones?
Can you use this to run a software like SolidWorks? I would need it for my engineering classes
Thanks bro. I’m playing COD on my mac 🎉
for the dependencies setup mine doesn't say "GPTK not installed" it says "WhiskeyWine not installed" and then i press next and nothing downloads. The app freezes and i can't close i unless i force quit.
"EAC client cannot be instantiated" is coming up when every I try running a game, any tips to bypass this??? I'm running mac as well
How can you have it download to an external ssd/hd? I already put whiskey on portable drive but when I close it and reopen to have downloads go to jt, I just can’t figure it out
This method works for me, but created a problem when the games aren't playable anymore: lack of some sounds and uncontrollable mouse movements, even laptop restarts don't help out. What can I do, guys? Thank you in advance.
I have an intel mac so this wont work...I used boot camp for a while but after a week it stops working so I have to delete it and then re-download it. So I tried parallels and it actually worked great but sadly I can only use it for 14 days as a free trial 😭 And wine just does not work at all. Is there any other way to play windows games on a intel mac?
Would resident evil 2 remake work without delay?
Latest WhiskyWine 2.1.1 now allows EA App to be installed. Problem now is that DXVK has to be off for it to start. Soon TM
can it be use for more than just games?
What im interested in is if you can use this to possibly connect a Quest via SteamLink to the mac and play PCVR
I Need an Answer on this question too😱
hi, when i trt to install whisky, the gtpk option is replaced by "whiskywine" in install. how do i get gtpk? thanks
thank you buddy
can the games be installed on a portable SSD, so that we run steam on internal?
How do you hide desktop icons when you're in an application that is not full screen?
Any way of running custom vanilla wow clients, such as turtle wow?
how do u make your background look so clean (like without all the folders and desktop icons) whenever u have apps that are not in full screen mode?? as seen in 1:45 that icons only appear on the desktop view...
Wondering the same
Yes how
@@mayatrash i found out how. Essentially it’s a setting that hides all of your desktop icons until you click on the desktop wallpaper itself, revealing the icons until you unclick the desktop. Settings > Desktop & Dock > unselect ‘On Desktop’ under the Desktop & Stage Manager heading
UTM is also good for this :)
Help i installed fallout new vegas but it didnt work so i closed the game and then i closed steam and now steam will not stop opening automaticli and i have already deleted wiskey how do i fix this!!!!

Does it heat up the device, i want to download wuthering waves, but I'm worried it is going to heat up my MacBook air
Hey so I downloaded Whisky but all I see is whisky logo's, when I open it it tells me I can't open it cause it doesn't work on Mac or something.
Does it also work with epic games launcher?
could it run plants vs zombies garden warfare 2? I have a m1 macbook pro 2021
When I try to open wisky from my apps it says “u cannot open wisky cause the application is not supported on Mac”, I have MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1 btw
Hey, when I try to play a game it crashes but it's not only that, it also crashes my screen and I had to restart the entire mac
Whisky is also good to run non games applications
Can you do this on chromebook?
everything works.. but its the thing is some of the games doesnt load up such as crime scene cleaner fix this problem asap
Does this work on MacBook m2 chip?
theres a windows 11 version. do it pick it?
Hi, i do not have installed GPTK, instead of that, I see WiskyWinde, it is oK?
Does this work with Spider-Man Remastered?
it didn't work for me for some reason, I hit play game and then It says its loading then goes back to hit play
i have a mac os 10.15.7 but it says "You have macOS 10.15.7. The application requires macOS 14.0 or later." when i try to open whisky. why is this happening?
I can finally play Pizza Tower. Thank you so much!
i have intel can you change the CPU in iMac to 3M or 2M
Can u try other popular games as well like Fortnite, cod, CS2 etc...
I really expected for the game to crashed when he opened a game. What a dirty mind 😭
Sick fuck
steam setup will not work at all, every step it followed but when opening the .exe through whisky, nothing happens. everything just stops
Do this work on mac m1?
what about for M1 macbooks?
I really like this 🔥🔥🔥
I wish this worked on Intel, or older OSes like Big Sur, and mine, Catalina. No Geometry Dash for me now (until the bug is patched).
really sad that cant install my game, my go to game was not on steam and yeah when i try to click run on whisky it wont run
so its wine for mac?
does it work with 32 bit games?
Can I run Windows on my Mac computer by connecting an external harddisc with Windows 11, which I can write to an external harddisc for my Macbook Air M1?
Windows 11 Arm isn't currently supported on apple silicon, but can be run through VM Software like Parallels
Can’t you run bind ing isaac perfectly on base macOS?
can this work with epic store too?
my downloads come and stop at 97% and the speed suddenly drops down to 0 and the game stops downloading
Can it run CS2?
if when I click run with the correct windows file of steam it doesn’t do anything
It shows a black screen when i run warframe using whisky. How to fix this?
NICE
