I purchased mine through Steam, and the store page only shows a Windows version, so I would have to say “No” to a MacOS version... however, if Apple still supports BootCamp (I last purchased an Apple computer 10 years ago), you can always create a BootCamp partition to install Windows and run it natively that way. Loved the fact that I could do that with my MacBook Pro... Anyway, I wouldn’t try running it through Parallels or any other virtualized platform - the performance hit would be too great.

All of that computer technological stuff just exploded my brain. Computers are not my forte. I work with my hands. Are you saying there’s a way to make VRC work on a Mac desktop? For me, it’s either the 2yr old Mac or a Dell laptop from probably 2006 that originally had windows XP on it, but then had windows 7 shoved into it... it’s a total brick that hasn’t been touched in years. We only still have it because it has tons of pictures and old data on it.

well, there at least WAS - BootCamp was basically an app that Apple provided that would separate a part of your hard drive so that you could create a Windows image on it for booting. It would provide all the stuff Windows needs to run on the Mac, It does it natively, which means that there’s no emulation this nvolved, meaning it uses the hardware directly.

This was available years ago, so it all comes down to whether Apple still supports BootCamp.

Even if Apple is not still supporting BootCamp (I think they are), you could run Windows in a virtual machine and run VRC there - but the overhead of running this would be measurable and you couldn't use the full power of your computer (not sure what the recommended specs are for VRC though).
