How to install PUBG (Windows version) on a M1 Pro MacBook Pro?

[GoztepeEge]

Hello everyone.

Recently I started using a 2021 model MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro processor.

Right now I can play CSGO (native), Dirt Rally (native), and Left 4 Dead (via CrossOver). They are all great.
Nowadays me and my friends want to have some chilling time on PUBG. My friends are all Windows users, but I have a M1 Pro mac. Hence I need to find a way to install the windows version of the PUBG.

I searched but found no possible way to install PUBG on Apple Silicon Macs.

Do you have any idea or any advise that I can install it to my device?
Some users reported that CrossOver does not work. And there is even no info about the Parallels Desktop option.

Any help would be appreciated!

Try game streaming. It's free on Stadia.

Seems interesting. I guess this is something like NVidia's solution, which I never used actually.

I will give Stadia a try. Thanks for letting me know.

I just tried but it does not respond to my keyboard inputs. Another game, Hitman, is not like this. It was pretty nice to play. But PUBG is kind of problematic right now, I can not resolve it.

Try with controller. Sounds like that was done intentionally to level the playing field otherwise keyboard/mouse players would have an unfair advantage in PUBG.

I just tried and played a match, however this is not the thing I was looking for. I already have a PS4 which I would play on..

But my friends are windows users and they are playing on Steam. Now I need a way to play with them. Obviously Stadia does not support this.
(However it was an excellent experience to play a game via stream, no lag, no problem, nice graphics. P.S: 100Mbps connection I have)

There's currently no getting around BattlEye anti-cheat on non-PC so if you want to join your buddies on Steam PUBG you'll need to invest at least ~$600 on a PC with AMD 5700G iGPU that does ~50fps @ 1080p very low settings then add dGPU down the road when prices settle down. Or, maybe $400 Steam Deck once PUBG is confirmed as one of the supported BattlEye titles.

Sad to hear.

It is also weird I play lots of games on this Mac but no PUBG. There are so many options like Rosetta, CrossOver, Parallels Desktop. Nothing works. Sad.

Streaming services should work, aside from stadia, which Googles has had a bad track record. Nvidia has a steaming services that you may want to look into
