How to play Above on Mac
Game summary
Above is an aeronautic action-adventure game, set in a world of scattered islands, where flight is freedom at a cost and danger lurks deep beneath the ocean waves.
Join the young pilot, Maryam, as she breaks the aviation ban of her people, in order to search for her brother, Elm, who disappeared at sea under unlikely circumstances. Experience, with Maryam, the freedom of flight, uncover the truths behind her people’s myths and rules, and discover, with her, that the world is much bigger than she was told but as dangerous as she was warned.
Play Above on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Above on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
Above installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Above like you would on any PC.
