A Mac isn't just for work these days, with many owners wondering whether they can play Diablo 4 on their macOS machine. Find out the answer below and see if you can start playing now.

Is Diablo 4 available to play on macOS?

Diablo 4 is currently not available to play on macOS, meaning Apple users can't officially play the game on their laptops or desktop computers.

The previous entry, Diablo 3, did get a macOS release at the same time as the Windows launch, so the fact this next game doesn't have support may suggest Blizzard has no interest in supporting the platform at the moment.

This may change in the future, with Apple looking to take gaming more seriously with both new hardware and macOS software updates. However, as it stands, Diablo 4 is currently not officially supported on macOS in its current state.

However, even though there is no official macOS release, there are some ways you can still play the game on an Apple device.

One of the best ways you can play Diablo 4 macOS involves the Boot Camp software, though you will need to have an Intel Mac for this to work. This software essentially allows you to install Windows on a separate partition of your hard drive.

Here's how to play Diablo 4 on macOS using Boot Camp:

Begin by downloading Boot Camp from the website, and then install Windows 10 or 11 to macOS
Download the Windows Battle.net client, then purchase and install Diablo 4
Load up the game and enjoy, though you will likely need to play with drastically lowered graphical settings

Your other option for playing Diablo 4 on macOS involves the OneCast software and an Xbox console, so you can stream the game to your M1 or M2 Mac.

Here's how to play Diablo 4 on macOS using OneCast:

Download OneCast and install it on your Mac
Connect your Mac and Xbox console to the same network
Launch OneCast and sign in to your Xbox account
Select Diablo 4 on your Xbox, and begin playing on your Mac
