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:
- Download CrossOver ($74/year, 14-day free trial)
- Install Steam through CrossOver
- Download Supermarket Together (free to play!)
- 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:
- Download Whisky (free)
- Create a new bottle and install Steam
- Download Supermarket Together
- Start playing—it’s that simple
Option 3: CloudDeck (Cloud Gaming)
If you’d rather skip the setup entirely, CloudDeck streams the game from high-performance servers.
Performance: 60 FPS, runs on our servers.

- Players who want zero setup
