How to play Left 4 Dead 2: The Sacrifice on Mac
| Platforms | Computer |
Game summary
This DLC is a port from Left 4 Dead, adding the campaigns The Sacrifice and No Mercy. Initially, it was to be released for the first game alone, but since players would have to own Left 4 Dead to experience the events that explain The Passing, the developers opted to release it for both games. No Mercy was brought over as well because it was the most popular campaign.
Both campaigns are available in every game mode. Players will still control the original Survivors, but will find items and Special Infected from Left 4 Dead 2. Five achievements were added, as in Left 4 Dead.
First released: Oct 2010
Play Left 4 Dead 2: The Sacrifice on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Left 4 Dead 2: The Sacrifice 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).
