Mac compatibility
Can you play Resident Evil 7 biohazard on a Mac?
Short answer: Capcom sells a native Mac version on the Mac App Store — start there. The Steam (Windows) version is a separate purchase and we haven't tested it.
What we know
Capcom brought Resident Evil 7 biohazard to Apple Silicon in July 2024. The Mac App Store listing is published by Capcom and is a separate purchase from the Steam version, so owning it on Steam doesn't get you the Mac build.
Steam lists Resident Evil 7 biohazard for Windows only. If you want the Steam copy you already own, that's where Grapple comes in — otherwise the Mac App Store version is simpler.
The Windows requirements list DirectX 12, which Grapple runs through D3DMetal. We haven't run the Windows version through Grapple, so anything about it here is an expectation, not a result.
Grapple settings
Nothing verified yet. Where to start, based on its DirectX version (in the app, the same options are in the game's settings):
- DirectX 12 runs through D3DMetal, which comes with Grapple — a new install already uses it, and nothing needs downloading. See the Game Porting Toolkit guide.
- To see frame rates, turn on the Metal HUD:

What might stop Resident Evil 7 biohazard from working?
