There are visual artifacts present sometimes and some audio glitches too, but far from anything game-breaking.Ĭonsidering this is a freshly released PC game, it’s pretty impressive to see it running like this on the Mac platform, and with further optimization work, Apple users may see it ticking along a good deal more smoothly (don’t forget what was said about updating DXVK above, of course).

On Tsai’s M1 Max (backed with 32GB of RAM), the game runs “pretty well”, and you can see it generally hits between 35 and 50 fps (at 1080p, low settings again), with just the occasional stutter when new areas are loading. Essentially, the method involves manually editing the God of War EXE file, patching out its checks for the Windows operating system. The Reddit post advises that the method used for running God of War was provided by Andrew Tsai, who published a YouTube tutorial (opens in new tab) which shows how to get round the aforementioned error.

However, folks have been trying to run the God of War PC version (Steam) via CrossOver before, and have encountered an error message preventing launch. Analysis: Running well already – and expect further optimizationĪs we’ve pointed out in the past, CrossOver (from CodeWeavers) is one of the better ways of running Windows games (or apps) on a Mac.
