I Am Your Beast
Hunt the military-industrial complex across stylish comic book micro-sandboxes in this fast-paced covert revenge thriller FPS from the developers of El Paso, Elsewhere.
I Am Your Beast is currently best enjoyed via cloud streaming services as there is no native Apple Silicon port available.
What the world thinks
Steam Link / Moonlight
If you have a powerful Windows PC in the same house, you can stream the game locally to your Mac. This offers the best latency of all streaming options, as it does not rely on external cloud servers.
Native Compatibility
As of the current release, there is no native macOS build. While the game uses a relatively optimized engine, using translation layers like Whisky (Wine) or CrossOver can be hit-or-miss due to specific middleware. A cloud-first approach is currently safer for this specific title.

How to run I Am Your Beast on Mac with Xbox Cloud Gaming
Good· StreamingStreaming I Am Your Beast through Xbox Cloud Gaming 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
- Get Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
- Open xbox.com/play in Safari, Chrome, or Edge.
- Search I Am Your Beast and click Play — no install required.

How to run I Am Your Beast on Mac with CrossOver
Estimate· CompatibilityRunning I Am Your Beast 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.
I Am Your Beast) 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 I Am Your Beast
- Open Steam (or your launcher) inside CrossOver
- Install I Am Your Beast 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 I Am Your Beast on Mac with Parallels
Estimate· CompatibilityUsing Parallels to play I Am Your Beast 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 I Am Your Beast.
- Enable DirectX 11 in Parallels settings for best 3D performance.

Step-by-step
- Install Steam Link on your Mac.
