Would like to try some fresh alternative to Pokemons? Then a recent game called Temtem developed by Crema and published by the Humble Bundle studio from Spain will be the exact one to try. Get yourself into the shoes of a kid aspired to tame his own collection of Temtem creatures while exploring the six sky-floating islands of the Airborne Archipelago. Engage in battle with other tamers and fight your way up to defeat the evil Clan Belsoto and put an end to its dominant ruling over the entire settlement in a story-based campaign. Apart from this, players get access to buy their own house and decorate it, customize the character with outstanding hats, sweatshirts, pants, and various other things to show themselves off among other players. Temtem is a massively multiplayer online game with elements of co-op adventure allowing to play with your friend and face different challenges on your way to the next goal together! This truly exciting journey is currently available to play only on platforms like Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Windows. Despite there is no Mac on this list, we are still going to help you launch the game on it regardless! Follow our guide below to find out how.

Play Temtem on Mac with Parallels
Temtem requires lots of PC resources, but if you have a powerful Mac computer (iMac, iMac Pro, or Mac Pro) Parallels Desktop can be a solution. This is an application that allows for Windows virtualization on Mac with the full support of DirectX and GPUs. In simpler terms, what this means is that it allows you to install Windows 10 on Mac with just a couple of clicks and switch between MacOS and Windows instantly. So you will be able to run Windows, install Steam, and enjoy the Temtem game on Mac just like on a regular PC.
Note: Recommended devices to run resource-demanding games: MacBook Pro (models with an Intel processor, discrete graphics cards, and 16 GB of RAM or more), iMac (models with Intel processor, discrete graphics cards, and 16 GB of RAM or more), iMac Pro (all models are suitable), Mac Pro (all models are suitable). Parallels on Mac computers with M1 (M1 Pro, M1 Max) chips may not support recent games. Games that require DirectX 12 and later are currently not supported by Parallels. AppsOnMac recommends using Parallels’ free trial feature to determine whether you can run the game or not if you’re uncertain.
Play Temtem on Mac with cloud gaming services
If you have an old Mac or it cannot satisfy the Temtem game system requirements, there is an easy solution. Cloud gaming services will be happy to provide you with sufficient computing power – though not for free, of course. All you need is a browser or a small client program and a good internet connection starting from 15 MBit/s. There are several great platforms that provide these services, among the best are Boosteroid, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and Nvidia GeForce Now.
Play Temtem on Mac with BootCamp
Note: Mac computers with new Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3 Pro, or M1, M2, M3 Max) currently do not support BootCamp. In this case, please, use the options above to run Temtem on Mac
This method is simple but time-consuming. If your Mac meets all the system requirements above, you can play Temtem on Mac by installing Windows. You need to set up a dual boot of Windows and Mac via BootCamp. This is an application that allows users to choose the system to work in on startup, however, you won’t be able to switch between systems like in Parallels. You will need to reboot your machine every time you want to switch from Mac to Windows and vice versa. Remember that Mac is just a computer, in the end. And while newer Macs have their own special Apple Silicon chips that cannot run Windows, older Macs are very much similar to computers that run Windows, they have Intel processors, compatible RAM, disks, and other components. So you can install Windows on an older Mac by allocating no less than 64 GB of disk space (to be able to run Windows and a couple of games) and following these steps:
For OS X El Capitan 10.11 and older
For MacOS versions prior to OS X El Capitan 10.11 you will need to create a bootable Windows USB.
- Download this Windows ISO file.
- Open Boot Camp Assistant (Go to Applications > Utilities).
- Define the Windows partition size and choose the Windows ISO file you’ve downloaded.
- Format the Windows partition and go through all Windows installation steps.
- When Windows boots for the first time follow on-screen instructions to install Boot Camp and Windows support software (drivers)
