But while this was impressive, we reached out to Dmitry Geynisman, Product Manager at Parallels to see what the plans were for the future in gaming for Parallels Desktop on Apple Silicon. The only attribute stopping me from playing more games was storage. With the games running this well, I decided to go further in my testing with the M1 Pro. This was also the only time where I could hear the fans, while more graphically intensive games wouldn't summon them, so it could be a glitch with Parallels for the fans. ![]() While it would struggle with the Mac mini with graphical glitches everywhere, here there was no issue. While it would take longer than usual when transitioning from an indoor area to the outside, everything felt smooth in a 1440p resolution with high settings.Ĭrash Bandicoot: N.Sane Trilogy was another surprise. ![]() While Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes would run at 40 FPS on medium settings with the M1 Mac mini, it was full speed on high settings here. I tried the same settings with each game as before, in a resolution of 1440x900 at medium settings, and it resulted in full speed across the board. Resident Evil 3 is running worse this time, with more graphical issues, making it unplayable, regardless of everything in graphic settings on ‘low’ or ‘off’. Trying to load up Halo Infinite through the Xbox app also refused because of the same reason. This is a graphics engine, originally created by Microsoft, that allows developers to run their games on certain machines. Since our testing in August, Windows 11 has been released, alongside an ARM version, so we installed Steam, Epic Games, Rockstar Launcher, and the Xbox app to see how these would run on the MacBook Pro.Īgain, DOOM and Dragon Ball FighterZ refused to work, mainly due to the DirectX framework they’re built on. With Parallels Desktop 17 fully compatible with M1, this means that we can run certain apps on Windows, within the app to see how games can run. While Apple offers an app called Rosetta 2 to emulate apps that haven’t yet been rewritten, this doesn’t reap the speed and power benefits that a native app can bring. Running Parallels Desktop in a virtualized environment allows the user to choose their favored device type (often a Mac) and enable Windows-based applications to run, providing the best of both worlds for the end user.As Apple Silicon chips run on a different architecture to Intel and AMD, apps need to be rewritten on macOS in order to take full advantage of the M1 chip. This is especially great news for Mac users who are passionate about their devices and become frustrated when they need to access applications that are only available on Windows operating systems. Parallels Desktop bridges the technology gap between the two operating systems by enabling a virtualized environment capable of running Windows 11 Pro and Enterprise editions as a guest operating system on Mac with Apple silicon. Today’s official announcement highlights how Parallels Desktop is the only third-party solution for using Windows 11 on Mac with Apple Silicon that has been recognized by Microsoft. IT leaders can now enable their users to run Windows 11 on Arm with Parallels Desktop for Mac, with support from Alludo and assurance that Microsoft has authorized this solution. ![]()
