While gaming on the Mac is improving day by day, cloud gaming is a way to get AAA games on macOS<\/a> today. Here’s how to get started with the three biggest services in cloud gaming. <\/p>\n

\n

Historically, the words “gaming” and “Mac” haven’t been used in the same sentence very often. Apple has been extremely slow to make any serious strides in gaming compared to the rest of the industry. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A few major franchises have indeed brought their flagship titles to Mac – games like Alien Isolation, Diablo III, and Resident Evil VII all have Apple Silicon<\/a> versions that run flawlessly on the platform. However, more and more developers are skipping the App Store<\/a> and bringing their games to cloud services, making them available on almost every platform immediately. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What is Cloud Gaming?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Put simply, cloud gaming is a way to play modern PC or console games on remote hardware. With most cloud gaming services, you can access dozens of games no matter where you are. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

With cloud gaming, you don’t have to wait for lengthy downloads that take up hundreds of gigabytes of your Mac’s precious storage. You can also play on any device with an internet browser, and the connection speeds aren’t as demanding as you might imagine. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In most cases, if your connection is fast enough to watch Netflix in HD, it’s good enough for cloud gaming. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Three of the four major cloud platforms currently work on macOS – Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming, Amazon’s Luna, and NVIDIA’s GeForce Now. The fourth major cloud service, PlayStation Plus, currently requires an app that only works on Windows. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Here’s how to get started with each service. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
