Game summary
Auto Chess is a strategy video game that began as a mod for the video game Dota 2. Developed by Drodo Studio, the game supported up to eight players playing a modified version of chess, with characters and gameplay elements from Dota 2. Its popularity led to it having over eight million players by May 2019 and the recognition of the "autobattler" genre, with a number of games inspired by it.
Drodo Studio developed a new standalone version known simply as Auto Chess, which was released for mobile devices in May 2019 and on PC and consoles at a later date.
First released: Jan 2019
Play Auto Chess on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Auto Chess 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).
Auto Chess 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 Auto Chess like you would on any PC.
