How to play Paradise on Mac

Game summary

After crashing on an island, your only goal is to escape! Join up with friends or try to survive on your own on the harsh island that awaits. Collect materials, craft tools, and survive against other players, animals, or monsters that come out at night. Escape the island by crafting a radio transmitter and signaling for help; but be careful, the rescue helicopter will leave most players behind! In Paradise, you can craft useful items like hatchets, campfires, or various weapons. You can also build structures to protect you from monsters or other players. Survival means every man for himself - some players may be friendly, but others will be hostile! The number one thing to keep in mind is that the rescue chopper has a limited capacity on how many players can be rescued, so if you are not fast enough, you will be left behind! Players can create their own in-game servers or easily join others in the server browser. Players also have the ability to unlock new characters to play as.

Play Paradise on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Paradise 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).

Paradise 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 Paradise like you would on any PC.
