Boosteroid is a cloud gaming service that allows you to stream hundreds of games to your Mac. However, one of its drawbacks is its limited number of servers, meaning you will experience lags and frame drops while playing the game.
How to Play Hogwarts Legacy on Mac with Boot Camp
Installing Windows 10 through Boot Camp on Mac is the only way to play Hogwarts Legacy on your Mac. Boot Camp is only available for Macs with Intel chips.
It’s worth mentioning that Hogwarts Legacy is a demanding game, so you will need a Mac with good specs to handle it. We recommend you have a Mac model 2015 or later with at least 85GB of hard drive space.
