Common questions

Does Ready or Not run on Mac?

Ready or Not is graded playable on Apple Silicon through Pixel Port's runtime. Its current grade is playable for Apple Silicon Macs. Ready or Not is built on Unreal Engine, and Pixel Port's runtime translates its rendering to Metal automatically. It is not enabled in the beta yet, so request it in the app or join the Pixel Port Discord before trying to install it.

Do I need to own Ready or Not on Steam?

Yes. Pixel Port does not sell, host, or distribute games. Ready or Not 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 Ready or Not on Mac?

No. Pixel Port runs the Windows build of Ready or Not directly on macOS — no Boot Camp partition, no virtual machine, and no Windows license.

Which Macs can run Ready or Not?

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