EstimateΒ· Compatibility

Using Parallels to play Asterix & Obelix XXL 3 - The Crystal Menhir 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 Asterix & Obelix XXL 3 - The Crystal Menhir.
  4. Enable DirectX 11 in Parallels settings for best 3D performance.

Not recommended for Asterix & Obelix XXL 3 - The Crystal Menhir

Boosteroid is blocked for Asterix & Obelix XXL 3 - The Crystal Menhir. See the compatibility note above before trying it.

Streaming Asterix & Obelix XXL 3 - The Crystal Menhir through Boosteroid is the fastest way to start playing on a Mac β€” 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.

Steps, if you continue anyway

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