Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered came to PC in August 2022. It runs on Windows only, and it isn’t available on GeForce Now. On a Mac you can buy it on Steam but not play it.
With CloudDeck you can swing through New York on your Mac anyway.

What you get with the PC version
The game was developed by Insomniac Games, and Nixxes brought it to PC. According to PCGamingWiki, it was the first traditional Spider-Man game on PC since 2014.
You play an experienced Peter Parker in an open New York. It is a single-player game.
Play Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered on your Mac with CloudDeck
CloudDeck is a gaming PC in the cloud. It runs the game and streams it to your Mac, so your Mac only has to show the picture.
Valve rates the game as Verified on the Steam Deck, the best rating there is. CloudDeck runs Windows games with the same technology. On ProtonDB the game has the top rating, Platinum, based on more than 300 reports.
We haven’t measured frame rates for this game on CloudDeck.
Here is how to get started:
- Create your CloudDeck account and start your subscription.
- Install Moonlight , a free streaming app, on your Mac and connect to your CloudDeck.
- Log in to Steam and install Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered.
- Connect a controller to your Mac and start the game.
You need to own Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered on Steam. CloudDeck is available in Europe, the United States and Canada. The streaming app needs macOS 10.13 or newer.
Our help center has a step-by-step guide with screenshots for connecting with Moonlight.
Tips for playing on a Mac
Play with a controller. Xbox and PlayStation controllers connected to your Mac work through Moonlight.
The game needs 75 GB of disk space. Your CloudDeck comes with 250 GB.
Your saves are stored in Steam Cloud.
Set the right resolution. If you see black bars above and below the picture, the stream doesn't match your screen. For most MacBooks we recommend 1680x1050. Our guide on removing black bars shows where to set it.
Check your keyboard layout. CloudDeck starts with a US keyboard layout. If you use a German, French or other keyboard, some keys won't match until you change the layout.
If the picture stutters, connect your Mac by cable or 5 GHz Wi-Fi and turn off location services in macOS. There are more tips in our guide on lag and stutters.
To end a session, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Q in Moonlight.
Other ways to play on a Mac
CrossOver is an app that runs some Windows games directly on your Mac, without streaming. It is a paid app with a 14-day free trial. CodeWeavers keeps a compatibility database where you can look up the current rating for Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered before you buy. This is a demanding 3D game, so how well it runs depends a lot on your Mac.
We haven’t tested Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered with CrossOver. It runs the game on your own Mac, so it costs less in the long run if it works for you. CloudDeck is the better choice if you want to skip the setup, or if you also want to play Windows games that need more power than your Mac has.
What it costs
CloudDeck costs $19.99 per month, and you can cancel anytime. We don't offer a free trial. If you're not happy and have used your CloudDeck for less than 4 hours, we'll refund you. You can sign up here.
