Ezio Auditore walks in the footsteps of the legendary mentor Altair, on a dangerous journey of discovery and revelation.

The game runs nearly flawlessly via CrossOver with high frame rates, though the Ubisoft Connect launcher can sometimes require a restart to log in correctly.

How to run Assassin's Creed Revelations on Mac with Parallels

Estimate· Compatibility

Using Parallels to play Assassin's Creed Revelations 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.

Step-by-step

  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 Assassin's Creed Revelations.
  4. Enable DirectX 11 in Parallels settings for best 3D performance.

How to run Assassin's Creed Revelations on Mac with GeForce NOW

Estimate· Streaming

Streaming Assassin's Creed Revelations through GeForce NOW 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. Sign up at GeForce NOW. The free tier works; Ultimate gives 4K/120fps.
  2. Download the GeForce NOW Mac app (Apple Silicon native).
  3. Link your Steam / Epic / Xbox account that owns Assassin's Creed Revelations.
  4. Search the title in the app and click Play.
