Game summary
Play LOST ARK on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play LOST ARK 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).

🕹 Editor's notes
Lost Ark is an MMO video game that has taken the gaming world by storm since its release in 2019. It was initially available only in South Korea and Japan. Gamers from other regions of the world had to use VPNs to get access to the game.
This game gives players the option to choose from different sets of character classes. There are subclasses in each category with completely different play styles. There is a background story for all these classes, like how they originated and ended up being their characters.
Classes
There are different types of classes for you to choose from, which is common in most MMORPGs. The number of classes you have access to depends on your connected server. The Korean servers have access to the latest characters, whereas the others are limited.
Let us check out the classes players from all regions can access in Lost Ark.
- The number one class is the Warrior Class, divided into three subclasses – Berserker, Paladin, and Gunlancer. The Berserker is damage-focused, Paladin is a support hybrid, and the Gunlancer is the first line of defense. The Gunlancer stands in the line of fire, using their defensive shape and battlefield shield.
- Next is the Martial Artist class, divided between Striker, Scrapper, and Wardancer. Striker is the male martial arts type that can use back attacks to cause precise damage.
- Gunner Class consists of the Gunslinger, Artillerist, and Deadeye subclasses. These classes use projectile weapons to kill enemies in Lost Ark, making them perfect for players who like using short and long-range attacks.
- The fourth cone is the Mage Class, which can cast spells to support its allies and cause damage from a distance. Bard and Sorceress are the two subclasses in the Mage Class.
- Assassin Class is the final one with two subclasses – Shadowhunter and Deathblade. They wield three swords with chaotic power to swiftly cut their enemies.
