Common questions

Does Icarus run on Mac?

Icarus is graded playable on Apple Silicon through Pixel Port's runtime. Its current grade is playable for Apple Silicon Macs. Icarus is built on Unreal Engine, and Pixel Port's runtime translates its rendering to Metal automatically.

Do I need to own Icarus on Steam?

Yes. Pixel Port does not sell, host, or distribute games. Icarus downloads through Steam, to your own Steam account, exactly as it would on a PC — you need to own it there first. Pixel Port is the compatibility layer that runs the Windows build Steam delivers.

Do I need Windows, Boot Camp, or a VM to play Icarus on Mac?

No. Pixel Port runs the Windows build of Icarus directly on macOS — no Boot Camp partition, no virtual machine, and no Windows license.

Which Macs can run Icarus?

Any Apple Silicon Mac — M1 through M4, MacBook Air to Mac Studio — on macOS 14 or later.
