How to play Lost Light on Mac

Game summary

Lost Light is a Survival, Warfighting, Progression mobile game developed by NetEase Games. Join the "Firefly" task force and unveil the sinister plot behind the exclusion zone. Survive the brutal domain where humanity ceases to prevail and danger lurks in every corner! The world of Lost Light abides by the rule of "high risk-high return." You could either sneak your way around and scavenge for supplies or go out with guns blazing and plunder like a warlord. Upgrading and trading are also essential to build up your strength and keep your enemies at bay. Armed to the teeth or be a minimalist in the next mission? Each decision will affect your chances of survival in Lost Light. And that’s the way warfare is.

Play Lost Light on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Lost Light 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).

Lost Light installation steps for Mac

Step 1

Step 4
