New MONOPOLY®

MONOPOLY® is back with a fresh look and an improved game experience. Buy, sell, trade properties, and grow your empire in a fully animated 3D city that transforms from sunlit days to stormy nights as you play.

Monopoly (2024) is not natively supported on macOS; however, it is perfectly playable via Xbox Cloud Gaming with virtually no setup time.

What the world thinks

  1. Subscription: Ensure you have an active Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
  2. Browser: Open Safari or Google Chrome and navigate to xbox.com/play.
  3. Controller: Connect an Xbox, PlayStation, or MFi-certified controller via Bluetooth. While basic keyboard support exists, a controller provides a smoother experience for navigating the 3D board.
  4. Web App: For a more native feel, click the 'Share' button in Safari and select 'Add to Dock'. This creates a standalone app instance that reduces browser overhead.
  5. Launch: Search for 'MONOPOLY' in the library and start the stream.
  • Ubisoft Connect via Boosteroid: If you own the game on Ubisoft Connect rather than through Xbox, Boosteroid offers a similar cloud streaming service. Performance is generally comparable to xCloud, though it requires a separate monthly subscription.
  • Virtual Machines: Running the game through Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion is not recommended due to DirectX 12 requirements and the performance overhead, which typically leads to sub-20 FPS even on M3 Max chips.

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 New MONOPOLY®.
