How to run The Crew Motorfest on Mac with Parallels

Estimate· Compatibility

Using Parallels to play The Crew Motorfest 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 The Crew Motorfest.
  4. Enable DirectX 11 in Parallels settings for best 3D performance.

How to run The Crew Motorfest on Mac with Boosteroid

Estimate· Streaming

Streaming The Crew Motorfest through Boosteroid is the fastest way to start playing on a Mac — there's nothing to install, no Windows VM, no compatibility layer.

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. Create a Boosteroid account and pick a plan.
  2. Use the web client or download the macOS app.
  3. Add The Crew Motorfest from their library (you'll need to own it on Steam/Epic).
