Play your Windows Steam games on a Mac. Free.

kegPlay sets up Wine, Steam for Windows and everything else with one button. You sign in to Steam, download your games and play.

Version 0.1.1 · macOS 13 or later · Apple Silicon (M1 and newer)

Three steps to playing

1

Drag to Applications

Open the .dmg and drag kegPlay into your Applications folder. On first launch macOS will ask: go to System Settings › Privacy & Security and click "Open Anyway".

2

Click "Start setup"

kegPlay downloads Wine and Steam for Windows. It takes a few minutes and about 3 GB of space.

3

Sign in to Steam and play

Download games in Steam as you would on Windows. Installed games show up in Kegplay.

The usual snags, already handled

Two graphics engines

DXMT turns DirectX 11 straight into Metal. DXVK is the fallback when a game dislikes DXMT. One click to switch.

The Steam Store just loads

A built-in unblocker for ISPs that block the Store. It applies only to Steam inside kegPlay, never to your Mac's network.

Sign-in that does not hang

A DNS fallback steps in when an ISP blocks Steam's sign-in servers.

No input-method trouble

Switches the keyboard to ABC while you are in a game and restores your input method when you leave.

13 languages

English, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and eight more.

Leaves no trace

Nothing is installed system-wide. All data lives in one folder; delete it and kegPlay is gone.

The list is short because the project is new. Offline DirectX 9/10/11 games generally have a chance of running.

What it cannot do yet

  • Games that need DirectX 12. kegPlay currently runs DirectX 9, 10 and 11 games.
  • Games with anti-cheat (most competitive online games).
  • Intel Macs.
