Common questions

Does The Ship run on Mac?
The Ship is graded playable on Apple Silicon through Pixel Port's runtime. Its current grade is playable for Apple Silicon Macs. The Ship is built on Native, 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 The Ship on Steam?
Yes. Pixel Port does not sell, host, or distribute games. The Ship 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 The Ship on Mac?
No. Pixel Port runs the Windows build of The Ship directly on macOS — no Boot Camp partition, no virtual machine, and no Windows license.
