Fall Guys is the chaotic battle royale where 60 adorable bean-people stumble through obstacle courses until one champion remains—it’s Takeshi’s Castle meets gaming, and it’s gloriously silly. Now free-to-play, it’s perfect for quick sessions with friends. Mediatonic never released a Mac version, and Easy Anti-Cheat blocks compatibility layers entirely.
Mac users typically have three options for running Windows games: CrossOver (a compatibility layer), Whisky (a free alternative), or CloudDeck (cloud gaming that streams the game from a remote PC). For Fall Guys, cloud gaming is the only option that works—here’s why.
Option 1: CloudDeck (Only Working Option)
CloudDeck offers a completely different approach to gaming on Mac: instead of running the game locally, CloudDeck runs it on our high-performance servers and streams the video to your screen. Your Mac just needs to display the stream, so even an 8GB MacBook Air works perfectly.
Performance: 60 FPS at 1080p, High settings (runs on our cloud servers).
Best for:
- Any Mac (M1, M2, M3, M4)
- Macs with limited storage (game needs 8GB locally)
- Anyone who wants to play without anti-cheat issues
Requirements: Any Mac and a stable internet connection (15+ Mbps recommended).
How to get started:
- Sign up for CloudDeck ($19.99/month, cancel anytime)
- Connect using Moonlight or your browser
- Install Fall Guys from the Epic Games Store (free to play)
- Play immediately—stumble your way to victory
Option 2: CrossOver or Whisky (Blocked by Anti-Cheat)
CrossOver is a compatibility layer that lets you run Windows games directly on your Mac. Whisky is a free, open-source alternative built on the same Wine technology.
Unfortunately, Fall Guys does not work through either—Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) blocks the game from running.
Why doesn’t it work?
- EAC detects Apple Silicon architecture and refuses to launch
- You’ll see an “unsupported host machine architecture” error
- The game freezes on the EAC loading screen
- There’s no workaround—bypassing anti-cheat would get you banned
Can I disable anti-cheat?
No. Fall Guys requires EAC for online play. You cannot disable it, and attempting to bypass it will result in a permanent ban.

FAQ
Why isn’t there a Mac version?
Epic Games never ported it. The game uses Easy Anti-Cheat, which doesn’t support macOS.
Can I use my Epic Games saves?
Yes—all progress syncs through your Epic Games account, which works with CloudDeck.
Will CrossOver ever work?
Unlikely. EAC would need to add macOS/Wine support, which they haven’t done for CrossOver users.
