How to play ExoSphere on Mac

Game summary

The earth as we know it can no longer sustain our numbers and the natural resources are all used up. In an attempt at finding a new home for humanity privately financed space programs were formed to send volunteers into the unknown in search of suitable planets to colonize. You are the commanding officer for the Exosphere-operation and it is your job to lay the foundation for the new Earth. Will humanity thrive or fall under its own weight? It's all up to you.

Play ExoSphere on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play ExoSphere 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).

ExoSphere 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 ExoSphere like you would on any PC.
