How to play WiLD on Mac

Game summary

"Wild is an open world action adventure created by Michel Ancel." "WiLD is set in a lush, expansive world where you will learn and adapt to the ever changing world around you, whilst uncovering the secrets of the land. As you would expect from mother nature, the world will continually change through different time of day, weather and seasonal changes. Once you get used to your surroundings, you will learn Shamanic abilities in order to take control of animals and exploit their unique abilities to assist with your survival. Discovering the relationship between man and nature is the essence of WiLD. As you can take control of any animal in the world, this opens up huge potential for emergent gameplay that will be unique to you." Announced in 2014, information about the game stopped soon after Paris game's week in 2015 but little else followed the news. Sony recently, March 2019, filed a trademark for the game's title and new activity on Facebook ahead of E3 likely means more information to come at the event. The game uses Linguini Engine developed by Pastagames Studios in collaboration with Wild Sheep Studio.

Play WiLD on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play WiLD 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).

WiLD 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 WiLD like you would on any PC.
