I have a download only Star Wars Battlefront PC Digital Download that I purchased. I have an Apple Computer. Can I download this game?

Hey guys, as mentioned in this thread, Star Wars Battlefront is not compatible with Mac OS. I don't want to start a discussion about PCs and Macs and which is more powerful, since they both have their strengths and weaknesses. Yes, you can install Windows via Bootcamp on a Mac and, if everyhting goes well, also play some games made for Windows PCs. I do have an iMac at home as well which plays some games that do not require a high-end build. However, due to some Bootcamp restrictions, you cannot update your drivers manually - you are bound to install the drivers Apple suggests. Therefore, you might be lucky and the game could run on your Mac - but since it's not officially supported, I cannot say "Yes, it will run on this and that Mac" since it might not. Hope that clears things up a bit. Have a great day.

SW:BF is not made to run on Mac OS. If you had bootcamp with Windows, you might be able to. However, I know alot of Macs are not that powerful, so I doubt you would be able to. Can you post your PC specs and I will see if you are able to? (CPU, GPU, RAM)

Hello @ABUJWAIYI3

I am really sorry, but Star Wars: Battlefront is currently only available on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Cheers,

Lol. I just posted a thread about this too. Sucks more for you man. You actually only have a Mac. I have a pc, but that doesn't work great with Battlefront. Hope the best for us.

Idk. My iMac is more powerful than my pc, so I don't think it's about compatibility. I have a bootcamp, but it keeps crashing every minute, so that doesn't work so well.

A bit late, but I can confirm that the game works on Bootcamp with a 2014 MacBook Pro w/ Nvidia. It doesn't run on max graphics settings, but it does run on lower settings quite nicely. Just make sure your computer's hardware is within the minimum requirements for the game, and it should work.

Your Computer does not meet the minimum requirements for playing
this game
