Heads up: GeForce NOW streams the game but doesn't include a copy β€” you'll still need to own Predecessor on a supported store (AllKeyShop).

Predecessor

The tactical depth and iconic heroes of a hardcore MOBA meets the explosive verticality of a 5v5 3D shooter.

Local play is impossible due to anti-cheat restrictions. Streaming through Boosteroid is the only way to access the game on a Mac.

How to run Predecessor on Mac with GeForce NOW

EstimateΒ· Streaming

Streaming Predecessor through GeForce NOW 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. Sign up at GeForce NOW. The free tier works; Ultimate gives 4K/120fps.
  2. Download the GeForce NOW Mac app (Apple Silicon native).
  3. Link your Steam / Epic / Xbox account that owns Predecessor.
  4. Search the title in the app and click Play.

How to run Predecessor on Mac with Parallels

EstimateΒ· Compatibility

Using Parallels to play Predecessor 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

  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 Predecessor.
  4. Enable DirectX 11 in Parallels settings for best 3D performance.
