Mac compatibility
Can you play Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on a Mac?
Short answer: Likely to work, but not tested yet — Star Wars Jedi: Survivor requires DirectX 12, which Grapple runs through D3DMetal. Nothing extra to download; tell us how it goes.
What we know
Steam lists Star Wars Jedi: Survivor 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 notes that it requires a third-party account: EA Account.
Steam notes that EA online activation and EA app software installation and background use are required.
Grapple settings
