How to Play Supermarket Together on Mac (Best Options Compared)

Supermarket Together is the chaotic multiplayer game where you and your friends run a supermarket—stocking shelves, chasing shoplifters, and trying not to go bankrupt. It’s free to play and absolutely hilarious with a group. There’s no Mac version, but the game runs great on Mac through compatibility layers.

Mac users have three solid options: CrossOver (a compatibility layer that runs Windows games directly on your Mac), Whisky (a free alternative to CrossOver), or CloudDeck (cloud gaming that streams the game from a remote PC). Here’s how they compare.

Option 1: CrossOver

CrossOver lets you run Windows games directly on your Mac without Boot Camp or a Windows license. It translates Windows commands to macOS in real-time.

How does Supermarket Together perform?

Supermarket Together has a Gold rating on ProtonDB (93 reports, trending Platinum). No official CrossOver rating exists yet, but ProtonDB Gold/Platinum games typically work well through Wine-based compatibility layers. The game runs with minimal setup—no anti-cheat issues.

Quick reference:

• ✅ Any M-series Mac — Runs smoothly
• ✅ 8GB RAM — Sufficient for this game
• ✅ Multiplayer — Works perfectly

How to get started:

1. Download CrossOver ($74/year, 14-day free trial)
2. Install Steam through CrossOver
3. Download Supermarket Together (free to play!)
4. Invite friends and start your retail empire

Tips: The game is lightweight—even older Macs should handle it fine.

Option 2: Whisky (Free Alternative)

Whisky is a free, open-source alternative to CrossOver built on the same Wine technology.

Performance: Identical to CrossOver for a lightweight game like this.

The trade-off: More manual setup, but for a simple game like Supermarket Together, you probably won’t hit any issues.

How to get started:

1. Download Whisky (free)
2. Create a new bottle and install Steam
3. Download Supermarket Together
4. Start playing—it’s that simple
