Mac compatibility
Can you play Red Dead Redemption 2 on a Mac?
Short answer: Not tested yet, and the publisher doesn't list a DirectX version for Red Dead Redemption 2 — so we won't guess. Try it on the Free plan and tell us how it went.
What we know
Steam lists Red Dead Redemption 2 for Windows only. Its published requirements name a DirectX-compatible sound card but no DirectX version for graphics.
Without a published DirectX version there's nothing to reason from, so we won't guess. Running it once on a Mac tells us more than the spec sheet does.
Steam notes that it requires a third-party account: Rockstar Games (Supports Linking to Steam Account).
