  1. Windows to Mac games


    I previously had a windows laptop but for christmas I recieved a Macbook. I wanted to download a previously purchased game onto my new device but it only comes up with my old laptop when i click on install on my devices. Can this be resolved or do I have
    to use my old device for that game.

    Xbox Cloud Gaming on Mac Os

    Well that's a given seeing as mac apps are made for Mac OS AND iOS

    One major problem with your theory

    You need ms xbox game services for windows 10 to run the app

    Apple doesnt allow anything to overwrite their core services

    And fyi xbox games uses direct x which is not compatible with mac os

    No windows will install on a m1 you will have to get an older mac that is Intel compatible

    Gamepass on Mac?

    If you set up your Mac with Bootcamp to install a recent Windows 10, then yes.

    But you can't run Game Pass PC/Ultimate on MacOS natively. You will need Windows 10 running on your Mac.

    i bought minecraft java and bedrock together but when i open minecraft i can only play java edition, how do i get onto bedrock?

    Thanks for the extra info Mad.

    Bedrock edition is not available if you're using MacOS, only for Windows devices.

    The only way to access to that edition if you're on Mac is:

    A. Create a Windows virtual machine and install the game from there (depending on your Mac hardware the performance is not going to be good)

    B. If you are using an Intel Mac, you create a new Windows partition using bootcamp.

    --------

    Or if you have a Windows PC. You just need to install Minecraft launcher via Microsoft Store / Xbox app and install the game there

    Xbox Game Pass PC error 0x8007001f when installing games

    Yo Microsoft, let us use our Game Pass subscription on Macs running Windows 10 from an external SSD or I won’t get the Series X. We don’t want a Windows partition or Virtual Machine polluting the internal storage of our Mac lol
