RimWorld is a construction and management simulation video game developed and published by Montreal-based developer Ludeon Studios. Originally named Eclipse Colony, it was first released as a Kickstarter crowdfunding project in early access for Windows, Mac, and Linux in November 2013, and had its official release on October 17, 2018.
Instead of being a mere test of skill or challenge, the game aims to function as an AI-powered “story generator,” allowing players to embark on narrative adventures through its immersive gameplay experience.
Can I play RimWorld on Mac?
Yes, you can play RimWorld natively on Mac. If you have an Intel-based Mac you can run it straight away, but with any Apple Silicon based Mac (M1, M2) you will need to install a utility called Rosetta.
The game is also available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows and Linux.
How to play RimWorld on Mac
RimWorld for Mac is available on a number of online gaming stores.
If you have an Apple Silicon Mac you’ll need to download Rosetta 2 before launching the game.
Rosetta 2 empowers Macs with Apple Silicon chips (M1, M2) to seamlessly run apps designed for Intel-based Macs. Whenever you launch an app exclusively built for Intel-based Macs, Rosetta automatically operates in the background, effortlessly translating the app for compatibility with Apple Silicon. You can enjoy the convenience of opening and using your apps as you normally would.
