eFootball 2024
eFootball 2024 is the current evolution of the long-running Pro Evolution Soccer series, shifting toward a free-to-play service model. It focuses on highly technical football simulation, emphasizing player momentum, ball physics, and tactical positioning over arcade-style speed. Players can build their own 'Dream Team' by signing world-class talent and legendary players, competing in various online divisions and seasonal events.
The game stands out for its realistic animations and the 'Sharp Touch' mechanic, which rewards precise timing and spatial awareness. Unlike its competitors, eFootball prioritizes the physical battle between attackers and defenders, making every duel for the ball feel impactful and strategic.
eFootball 2024 is playable on Apple Silicon using CrossOver or Whisky with D3DMetal enabled, offering steady 60 FPS performance on most hardware.

How to run eFootball 2024 on Mac with CrossOver
Good· CompatibilityRunning eFootball 2024 through CrossOver translates its Windows DirectX calls into Metal on Apple Silicon — no reboot, no Windows license, no virtual machine. Most setup time is spent on first-time bottle configuration and installing the game launcher (Steam, Epic, etc.) inside CrossOver. Once that's done, launching feels close to native. Expect 15–30 minutes of setup on the first run.
Step-by-step
Step 1 — Create a bottle
- Open CrossOver → click New Bottle
- Name it after the game (e.g.
eFootball 2024) and choose Windows 10 64-bit - Open the bottle's Settings and set:
- Graphics: D3DMetal (not DXVK)
- Synchronization: ESync
- High Resolution Mode: Off
Step 2 — Install the game launcher
- Inside CrossOver, click Install Application → search for Steam (or Epic Games Launcher if you own it there)
- Install it into the same bottle you just created
- Launch Steam, log in, and let it fully update before proceeding
Step 3 — Install and launch eFootball 2024
- Open Steam (or your launcher) inside CrossOver
- Install eFootball 2024 through the launcher as normal
- Launch the game — use the launcher's Play button, not CrossOver directly
- First launch may take 30–90 seconds to show a window. Don't force-quit unless it hangs for several minutes.
Step 4 — If you hit issues
- Black screen / stuck in small window: go to Settings → Graphics in-game, set Screen Type to Fullscreen, then restart
- Resolution resets on every launch: find the game's config/settings file and set the resolution values manually, then mark the file Read-Only to prevent the game overwriting it
- Crashes on startup: try switching the bottle's Synchronization from ESync to MSync, or vice versa

How to run eFootball 2024 on Mac with Parallels
Estimate· CompatibilityUsing Parallels to play eFootball 2024 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
- Buy / start a trial of Parallels Desktop.
- Install Windows 11 ARM via the one-click wizard.
- Inside Windows, install Steam / Xbox app and eFootball 2024.
- Enable DirectX 11 in Parallels settings for best 3D performance.

How to run eFootball 2024 on Mac with Boosteroid
Estimate· StreamingStreaming eFootball 2024 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 eFootball 2024 from their library (you'll need to own it on Steam/Epic).
