How to run Trials Rising on Mac with Parallels

Estimate· Compatibility

Using Parallels to play Trials Rising 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 Trials Rising.
  4. Enable DirectX 11 in Parallels settings for best 3D performance.
