Masters of Albion
A bold reimagining of the God Game genre from the creator who defined it. Shape a living world as a god - or step into it and experience it through your people. Build, guide and defend your town by day, then survive the night when everything is under threat. There is no single solution. Only yours.
As a cloud-based title on Boosteroid, Masters of Albion runs perfectly on any Apple Silicon Mac regardless of chip tier, provided you have a stable internet connection.
What the world thinks
- Subscribe: Sign up for a Boosteroid account (approx. €9.89/month).
- Purchase the Game: Ensure you own Masters of Albion on a supported storefront (likely Steam).
- Launch: For the best experience, download the Boosteroid native macOS app rather than using a browser. This reduces input lag and offers better mouse polling rates.
- Settings: In the Boosteroid app, set the bitrate to 'Auto' or 'High'. Ensure you are connected via 5GHz Wi-Fi or Ethernet for 60 FPS stability at 1080p.
CrossOver / Game Porting Toolkit (GPTK)
As a DirectX 12 title, Masters of Albion may be playable locally via CrossOver 24+ or Whisky.
- Pros: Lower latency than streaming; offline play.
- Cons: High hardware requirements. You will likely need an M2 Pro/Max or M3/M4 series chip to maintain 30+ FPS at medium settings. D3DMetal translation must be enabled.
