Common questions
- Does Subterranean Animism run on Mac?
- Subterranean Animism is graded playable on Apple Silicon through Pixel Port's runtime. Its current grade is playable for Apple Silicon Macs. Subterranean Animism is built on Other, 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 Subterranean Animism on Steam?
- Yes. Pixel Port does not sell, host, or distribute games. Subterranean Animism 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 Subterranean Animism on Mac?
