If you want to play Apex Legends on Mac, you can do so without needing any third-party software or voiding your warranty. Apple offers its own desktop virtualization tool known as Boot Camp, which allows you to run Windows on your Apple system. Once installed, you will be able to play Apex Legends on Mac. The installation process is simple and takes less than 20 minutes to complete on newer Macs. Here is a quick rundown on how to play Apex Legends on Mac. You need to meet the game’s system requirements to handle Apex as the game can be slightly demanding even on low settings.
It is possible to play the game on Mac. Here is what you need:
1. Check your Secure Boot setting
The default Secure Boot setting is Full Security. If you changed it to No Security, change it back to Full Security before installing Windows. After installing Windows, you can use any Secure Boot setting without affecting your ability to start up from Windows. You can check out Apple's official guide to check boot security settings here: https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT208198
2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition
3. Format the Windows (BOOTCAMP) partition
When Boot Camp Assistant finishes, your Mac restarts to the Windows installer. If the installer asks where to install Windows, select the BOOTCAMP partition and click Format. In most cases, the installer selects and formats the BOOTCAMP partition automatically.
4. Install Windows
Unplug any external devices that aren't necessary during installation. Then click Next and follow the onscreen instructions to begin installing Windows.
5. Use the Boot Camp installer in Windows
After Windows installation completes, your Mac starts up in Windows and opens a ”Welcome to the Boot Camp installer” window. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Boot Camp and Windows support software (drivers). You will be asked to restart when done.
Restart, then press and hold the Option (or Alt) ⌥ key during startup to switch between Windows and macOS.
Now that you installed Windows on MacOS, you will be able to download Apex Legends normally via Steam or Origin.
