How to play Cave Digger on Mac

Game summary

Cave Digger is a virtual reality mining game for HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Windows MR. The game takes place in a small town in an alternative western universe. Gear up with scrappy aftermarket tools and devices and jump into the elevator that will take you deep down into the mine. Find the rich veins that are just waiting for the honest, hard workers to whack their pickaxes at them! Return back to the surface to enrich yourself! Upgrade your tools to advance deeper. New tools open new possibilities for the brave worker: more treasures and multiple endings are waiting for you just behind the next block of granite. How much money is enough? Will you be able to stop? What happens if you don’t? The Answer to these questions and more lay at the bottom of the mine.

Play Cave Digger on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Cave Digger 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).

Cave Digger installation steps for Mac

Step 1

Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Cave Digger like you would on any PC.
