Game summary
This is Going to be a Weird One, Gang.
The Goat Simulator DLC is the 30th pack for PAYDAY 2, and is a collaboration between Coffee Stain Studios and OVERKILL. Vlad has a new mission for the gang, but things quickly get more... complicated once they arrive at the scene. With this update we introduce a brand new two-day heist that is unlike anything we've done before. Together with this comes a new shotgun, four melee weapons, four masks, four patterns, four materials and finally two new tracks from Simon Viklund.
First released: Jan 2016
Play PAYDAY 2: The Goat Simulator Heist on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play PAYDAY 2: The Goat Simulator Heist 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).
PAYDAY 2: The Goat Simulator Heist installation steps for Mac

Step 3

Step 4
