How to run Mage Arena on Mac with Boosteroid

GoodΒ· Streaming

Streaming Mage Arena through Boosteroid is the fastest way to start playing on a Mac β€” 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

  1. Create a Boosteroid account and pick a plan.
  2. Use the web client or download the macOS app.
  3. Add Mage Arena from their library (you'll need to own it on Steam/Epic).
