Step-by-step

- Install Windows 11 ARM via the one-click wizard.
- Inside Windows, install Steam / Xbox app and Riders Republic.

How to run Riders Republic on Mac with Luna
Estimate· StreamingStreaming Riders Republic through Luna 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
- Subscribe to Amazon Luna.
- Open luna.amazon.com in your browser, or install the Luna web app.
- Find Riders Republic in your channel and stream.
