Mac compatibility
Can you play Elden Ring on a Mac?
Short answer: Yes — a player has played it more than once, for over 10 minutes each time, on a Mac with Grapple.
What we know
Steam lists Elden Ring for Windows only. Both its minimum and recommended requirements call for DirectX 12.
Grapple includes Apple's D3DMetal, which handles DirectX 11 and 12, so a DirectX 12 game needs nothing extra from you. That's an expectation, not a result — we haven't tested it yet.
Steam's store page shows no anti-cheat notice for Elden Ring, but AreWeAntiCheatYet lists it as using Easy Anti-Cheat and as supported on Linux/Proton. Proton is built on Wine like Grapple, but whether that carries over to Wine on macOS is exactly what a test has to show.
AreWeAntiCheatYet also notes that on Linux the game may not work out of the box unless you own the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.
Grapple settings
None that we know of: players report it works with Grapple's default settings.
Test record
No detailed record yet. The Works status comes from players: their reports below, and the players Grapple counts, anonymously.
