How to play Shadow of the Tomb Raider: The Pillar on Mac
| Platforms | Platform, Computer |
Game summary
In “The Pillar,” players will venture into the game’s newest challenge tomb known as Path of Huracan to discover the truth behind the legend of the Maya apocalypse. To reclaim an ancient treasure, Lara Croft must defy the treacherous storms of an all-new challenge tomb, all while fighting the forces of Trinity.
“The Pillar” offers new customization options with the Tunic of the Shorn One outfit, which reduces damage from projectile weapons and allows additional ammo to be crafted. The Oathtaker’s bow deals greater damage to armored enemies, and the A Thousand Eyes skill allows Lara to use Survival Instincts when moving through tree canopies or concealment walls.

Play Shadow of the Tomb Raider: The Pillar on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Shadow of the Tomb Raider: The Pillar 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).
