    There's a link to a reddit post on the swgoh.events discord (pinned in the #swgoh-lobby channel) that walks you through getting it running on Mac. It's still not natively available so there's some hoops that you'll need to jump through, but I suspect this shouldn't be a new thing to a Mac user. Mac has never been a bastion of software compatibility.

    That said, I hope they do start providing native support for Mac - that could only be a good thing for the game. Best of luck.

    Where the new(ish) Mx Macs are  concerned, I understand it could be fairly simple.  For example, playing the game on an iPad used with a touchpad already shows mouse/trackpad cursor interaction as built-in.  That said, I'm sure it is not "free" and there's some necessary work.  Might have to work out the keyboard shortcuts, but those might already be there.  From what I understand, a large number of iPad apps just have to officially be rebuilt and packaged to run on MacOS on the new(ish) Mx macs.

  • Whisky is not the problem. The only problem I have is that no information regarding the Mac client is published or is kept quiet about.

    The Mac client is available and can be found on EA’s site. But the SWGOH app does not run on the Mac client (it is for Windows-based computers only). And it now seems that you can’t run the game on BlueStacks after the update.
