How to play Astra Itinera on Mac
Game summary
In the far distant future, the story of a united Earth branching out to the stars is more legend than history.
Humankind spread across the galaxy to planets in all regions of space.
But the distance was great, communication and travel were slow… and human nature took a dark turn as civilization collapsed, sending worlds into chaos and barbarism overrun by marauders.
Your world has risen from the chaos—a united republic like the Earth of legend. Technology for space travel improved steadily. Hope of restoring order to the other worlds is growing.
Reaching out to other worlds—you found there is a growing threat of tyrants seeking galactic domination. Technology— naively shared at first, then stolen—has created formidable opponents and a long war ensued.

Play Astra Itinera on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Astra Itinera 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).
Astra Itinera installation steps for Mac
Step 1
