AION 2

AION 2 is the only MMORPG built around a world where the sky is the battlefield. Choose your faction, ascend as a Daeva, and fight a faction war across a world 36 times larger than the original. PC only, on Unreal Engine 5.

AION 2 has no Mac version, and no cloud gaming service carries it yet. We have no reports of it running in CrossOver or Parallels, and MMOs like this usually ship anti-cheat that blocks both. For now there is no supported way to play it on a Mac. We will update this page if GeForce NOW or Boosteroid add it.

How to run AION 2 on Mac with Boosteroid

Good· Streaming

Streaming AION 2 through Boosteroid is the fastest way to start playing on a Mac — there's nothing to install, no Windows VM, no compatibility layer. The game runs on a remote GPU and your Mac just receives the video, which means even a base M1 MacBook Air can play the most demanding AAA titles at high settings. The tradeoff is that you need a stable internet connection (ideally wired or 5GHz Wi-Fi with 25+ Mbps down) and a subscription.

Step-by-step

  1. Create a Boosteroid account and pick a plan.
  2. Use the web client or download the macOS app.
  3. Add AION 2 from their library (you'll need to own it on Steam/Epic).

How to run AION 2 on Mac with Parallels

Rough· Compatibility
Not recommended for AION 2

Parallels is blocked for AION 2. See the compatibility note above before trying it.

Using Parallels to play AION 2 means running a full copy of Windows 11 ARM inside macOS. This is the most "it just works" approach for games that don't behave under CrossOver, and DirectX 11 is hardware-accelerated. You'll need a Windows license and roughly 80 GB of disk space.

Steps, if you continue anyway

  1. Buy / start a trial of Parallels Desktop.
  2. Install Windows 11 ARM via the one-click wizard.
  3. Inside Windows, install Steam / Xbox app and AION 2.
  4. Enable DirectX 11 in Parallels settings for best 3D performance.
