How to play SnowCross on Mac

Game summary

Get on a snowmobile and drive your way to victory with SnowCross. Try to master 10 different courses that take you through ovals, twisting bobsled runs, and several treks through the wilderness. When you are ready for some competition, try to win the Tournament Cups, where you will have to take first place from two other racers. After winning, you will be able to upgrade your vehicle before moving on to the next race. With three different Cups to win, there is plenty of racing action. If you get tired of racing computer-controlled opponents, hook up a link cable to challenge your friends to a race. You will become the greatest snowmobiler of all time in SnowCross

Play SnowCross on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play SnowCross 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).

SnowCross 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 SnowCross like you would on any PC.
