Itching to play both Civilization V and City Skylines. I don't own a PC and the only thing I got is my Macbook Air that I bought in 2017. For those who are PC/computer savy, can I play these games with no lag on my Macbook? Not looking for the best graphics. I just want to play the game with no chugging or framerate drops. Appreciate any feedback. Try play on mac, its a front end for wine, so it does it all for you. Ive only tried it with steam but it works great for games althought the community features wont load in the steam client. Steam market, activity feed, forums etc. After upgrading to macOS 10.15 Catalina, consider installing macOS 10.14 Mojave on a separate APFS volume on your computer along with Steam. This will allow you to flip over to macOS 10.14 on restart of your computer where you can continue to play all of your 32-bit Mac games.

This tool performs well in sharing phone screen with Mac and enabling users to control Android from Mac. With this tool, it will be simple for you to play Android games on Mac.

1. Initiate the installation on Mac. Then open it.
2. Connect your Android to PC via USB cable. With your permission, the application will be automatically downloaded on Android device. Tap “Don’t show again” and click “START NOW” on your phone. The phone screen will be cast to Mac.
3. Enjoy Android games with the help of mouse. Don’t hesitate to capture or record the phone screen on Mac when you get a high score or simply want to record the whole game process. Tap the function buttons displayed on the right.

2. Vysor

Vysor is actually a Chrome app which can project phone screen to Mac and help users run Android apps on Mac. There are two versions of this tool: Vysor and Vysor Pro. Vysor is free but provides limited services, and you can enjoy more functions by paying for Vysor Pro.

1. Search for Vysor in the browser and add Vysor to Extensions on Mac.
2. Plug in the USB cable to connect your phone and Mac. Soon Vysor on Mac will be launched itself and begin to transfer APK to Android device. With successful installation on phone, you will find phone screen displayed on Mac.
3. Employ mouse to run Android games on the desktop.

However, the display quality is not clear enough as we expect. There are intolerable ads showing up before you launch the application. Services such as recording phone screen or turning on full-screen mode are only offered in Vysor Pro. There is no trial version for users to experience.

Emulator

The alternative way to play Android games on Mac is to use an emulator program. BlueStacks enables users to beam all the apps on Android device to Mac via its Cloud Connect program – AppCast.

• Download BlueStacks on Mac and sign in with a google account.
• Input “AppCast” in the search bar and install it inside BlueStacks.
• On your Android device, install AppCast for BlueStacks and sign in with the same account. Tap the game app you want to transfer and run it on Mac.

As we all know, emulators are large files which may occupy much space on your computer and slow down the running speed of the process. Therefore, if you’re not app developers who need to test many apps and record app demo video, using an emulator won’t be the perfect solution.
