Want to play Roadside Research on your Mac? Unfortunately, this quirky simulation game from Cybernetic Walrus is Windows only. No macOS version in sight. But if you’ve got an internet connection, you can still play it on your Mac using CloudDeck .
Why Roadside Research Isn’t on Mac
Same story as most PC games. Developers build for Windows because that’s where the biggest audience is. Porting to macOS means dealing with Apple’s Metal graphics API instead of DirectX, and that’s a lot of extra development time for a smaller player base. For a smaller studio like Cybernetic Walrus, it just doesn’t add up.
What is CloudDeck?
