How to run F1® 25 on Mac with Parallels

Estimate· Compatibility

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 F1® 25.
  4. Enable DirectX 11 in Parallels settings for best 3D performance.
