House Flipper
House Flipper is a unique chance to become a one-man renovation crew. Buy, repair and remodel devastated houses. Give them a second life and sell them at a profit!
The Mac build is Intel-only (x86_64) and runs on Apple Silicon through Rosetta 2 translation — it's a Mac app, but not a true arm64 native one. Expect a ~10–15% performance tax versus a real native port.
What the world thinks
- Boosteroid: You can stream House Flipper via Boosteroid if you own it on Steam. This is useful for playing on max settings without generating any heat on your Mac, though it requires a high-speed internet connection.
- GeForce NOW: Also available on GFN. This is the best way to experience the DLCs at 4K resolution on a base M1 chip without any performance dips.

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