Heads up: GeForce NOW streams the game but doesn't include a copy — 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
Estimate· StreamingStreaming Predecessor through GeForce NOW 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
- Sign up at GeForce NOW. The free tier works; Ultimate gives 4K/120fps.
- Download the GeForce NOW Mac app (Apple Silicon native).
- Link your Steam / Epic / Xbox account that owns Predecessor.
- Search the title in the app and click Play.

How to run Predecessor on Mac with Parallels
Estimate· CompatibilityUsing 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
- Buy / start a trial of Parallels Desktop.
- Install Windows 11 ARM via the one-click wizard.
- Inside Windows, install Steam / Xbox app and Predecessor.
- Enable DirectX 11 in Parallels settings for best 3D performance.
