How to play Battlefield 4: Premium on Mac

Game summary

Own more, be more with a Battlefield 4 Premium membership. Premium expands the Battlefield by delivering all five expansions, 12 additional Battlepacks, and tons of weekly content. That’s great value for the content alone, plus the additional benefits of being a member. As a member you get treated to priority position in server queues and can participate in all Premium events. Plus, you get access to the expansion packs two weeks before the general public for that competitive edge. And just to make sure everybody else knows you’re a member, you can create a unique Battlefield experience with Premium-exclusive camos, paints, emblems, dog tags and more to dominate in style. But that’s not all—there are also more perks yet to be announced, so stay tuned.

Play Battlefield 4: Premium on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Battlefield 4: Premium 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).

Battlefield 4: Premium 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 Battlefield 4: Premium like you would on any PC.
