How to play Dark Souls: Remastered on Mac

Dark Souls: Remastered has no Mac build. Its anti-cheat is server-side rather than kernel-level, which is why it works where many multiplayer games cannot. It holds a Verified tier in our compatibility database on strong community evidence — we have not captured it on our own Macs yet. You need to own it on Steam.
