Megabonk came out in September 2025, and if you own a Mac you have probably noticed the problem already. The game is only available for Windows and Linux. There is no Mac version on Steam.
You can still play Megabonk on your Mac with CloudDeck .

What you get with Megabonk
Megabonk is a roguelike survival game. You fight through hordes of enemies on randomly generated maps, collect loot and pick upgrades until your character is absurdly strong or dead. According to the Steam store page, there are 20 characters, more than 70 items and 240 quests to unlock.
There is also a free demo on Steam if you want to try the game before you buy it.
Play Megabonk on your Mac with CloudDeck
CloudDeck is a gaming PC in the cloud that you connect to from your Mac. The game runs on our servers and is streamed to your screen.
Megabonk is about as easy as it gets. CloudDeck runs on Linux, and Megabonk has its own Linux version. Valve also rates the game as Verified on the Steam Deck, and players on ProtonDB give it the top rating, Platinum.
This is all you need to do:
- 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 Megabonk.
- Start the game and play with a controller or with keyboard and mouse.
You need to own Megabonk 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
Megabonk is a small download of about 500 MB, so it is installed quickly.
The game is single-player, and your progress is saved to Steam Cloud.
A cloud PC for one small game is a lot. CloudDeck makes the most sense if Megabonk isn’t the only Windows game you’d like to play on your Mac. You can install the rest of your Steam library next to it.
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 Megabonk before you buy. Megabonk doesn’t need much power, so the trial is worth a try.
We haven’t tested Megabonk 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.
