Heads up: Boosteroid streams the game but doesn't include a copy — you'll still need to own Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 on a supported store (AllKeyShop).
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is a fast-paced multiplayer-centric entry in the iconic franchise, departing from tradition by omitting a standard single-player campaign in favor of expansive online modes. The game features a refined 'Specialist' system where players choose characters with unique tactical abilities, a deep and stylized Zombies experience spanning multiple timelines, and 'Blackout'—the series' first foray into the battle royale genre on a massive scale map featuring land, sea, and air vehicles.
Due to aggressive anti-cheat software, native play or virtualization on Apple Silicon is impossible; cloud streaming via Boosteroid is the only functional method.

How to run Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 on Mac with Boosteroid
Good· StreamingStreaming Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 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
- Create a Boosteroid account and pick a plan.
- Use the web client or download the macOS app.
- Add Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 from their library (you'll need to own it on Steam/Epic).
