How To Play Overwatch 2 On Mac

There are two options for playing Overwatch 2 on a Mac: the first option is to use a Cloud Gaming service like the Boosteroid Cloud Platform and the second one requires you to use Parallels or Boot Camp to install a Windows partition on your Mac. 

We recommend using Cloud Service as all you need is good internet and a subscription for the respective Cloud Service. And then, you can play Overwatch 2 and other games without worrying about performance issues. 

But if you don’t want to waste a single penny for Overwatch 2, you can use the second option and install a Windows partition on your Mac. Here is how you can do that:

  • Download Boot Camp Assistant. 
  • Check Secure Boot Settings. 
  • Use the Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows Partition. 
  • Format the partition. 
  • Install Windows.

You can use this official guide from Apple that shares a detailed version of the above steps, helping you set up Windows on your Mac. Once the Windows runs, download Battle.Net and Overwatch 2 and play using the desktop icon.
