How to play Tomb Raider: Underworld on Mac
Game summary
Tomb Raider: Underworld on DS is a 2D side-scroller, but it features all the environmental challenges you’d find on its bigger cousins. Lara’s move set is almost as vast, and allows her to tackle a wide range of difficulties. The game features almost all of the cinematic sequences from the console games, but they are lower resolution and the voice quality is a bit compromised.
First released: Nov 2008
Play Tomb Raider: Underworld on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Tomb Raider: Underworld 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).
Tomb Raider: Underworld 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 Tomb Raider: Underworld like you would on any PC.
