How to play Sea-Doo HydroCross on Mac

Game summary

Sea-Doo HydroCross offers players five different models of fast maneuverable jet skis and eight varied courses on which to race them. Zip across the winding canals of Venice or speed through twisting sewers beneath Paris. For the truly adventurous jet skier there is even a Loch Ness course, complete with sea serpent. The game has two different physics model settings - a simulation mode for a realistic feel and an arcade mode for fast, forgiving gameplay. Seadoo HydroCross is built on the tried and true Polaris SnoCross game engine.

Play Sea-Doo HydroCross on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Sea-Doo HydroCross 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).

Sea-Doo HydroCross 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 Sea-Doo HydroCross like you would on any PC.
