Macbook + Windows 10 + Xbox Anywhere

Hi there!

Does anybody has played Xbox Anywhere games on a MacBook booting with windows 10?

I'm asking this, because the new Macbook Pro 15" seems to fill out the system requirements: it has 2Gb of video RAM and it is a core i7.

As I'm thinking about buying one and it would be a great plus!

Thanks!

:)

Is there any way to play xbox one games on the apple MacBook Air?

Hi,

Sorry no. As I understand it, the Xbox App is only available on Windows 10. You could do it on your MacBook, but you would have to install Bootcamp, and then buy a copy of Windows 10 and install this on your MacBook Air.

Streaming to windows 10

Three year old 13" MacBook Air (1.8 GHz Core i5, 4 GB, 128 GB SSD) with Windows 10 Home (not virtual). Streaming worked great. I played Dying Light for an hour tonight with no lag Or connection issues. Appreciate this functionality so I can play in different
areas of the house.

The only bug I have encountered is that is my controller will not move up and down the main Dying Light menu if I move it down past "Continue". Seems to lock up a bit. I have to use the XBOX home button and start another game and then come back to Dying
Light to "Continue" my game.

The MacBook is wifi only while the XBOX One is on a Ethernet cable. The MacBook Air worked much better than my 2014 Dell Inspiron 15" 7000 laptop (Core i7 2.00 GHz, 8 GB ram and a 1 TB hard drive). The Dell disconnected from my XBOX gaming session after
10 minutes (from the same location in my house). For some reason the MacBook on Windows just does gaming better. It streams the PC version of MineCraft for my son with no lag whereas the Dell lags MacBook also streams some Steam games better for me (e.g.,
Styx: Master of Shadows if you are familiar with it).

Hi,

Xbox Play Anywhere digital games can be played on both Xbox One console and Windows 10 computer. To take advantage of Xbox Play Anywhere, you will need to have installed the Windows 10 Anniversary Edition update on your PC, as well as the latest update on
your Xbox One console.

You can play the game on your MacBook Pro as long as it meets the system requirements of the game that you are trying to play.

It really wont work on any operating system other than windows 10. The windows 10 app is the only legitimate way to stream your xbox to play on the move. Personally i use a macbook with windows 10 bootcamped on it, native support for the controller is good,
as is the ability to use game sound/ party chat through the macbook

Or if you are using and Intel MacBook and has windows 10

Since the remote play is truely a feature of Windows 10 playing on a mac without Windows 10 will not work.

I can confirm however that running a windows 10 parallels VM will in fact let you play and stream the xbox from my macbook pro.
