Rexaura is a modification for Valve's Portal containing a new 20-chamber campaign centered around high energy pellets and many new testing elements. It is recommended for players who are familiar with Portal but want an extra challenge.

How to run Rexaura on Mac with Shadow

Estimate· Streaming

Streaming Rexaura through Shadow 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

  1. Subscribe to Shadow PC — a full Windows cloud PC.
  2. Install the Shadow macOS app.
  3. Install Steam / your launcher inside Shadow, then install Rexaura.
