Is Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™ available on Mac?
No, not on Mac. Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™ has no macOS version, and Mac players report that the Windows build does not run properly through CrossOver: on MacGamingDB they rate it barely playable, even though Linux players rate it Gold on ProtonDB. Linux results do not carry over to a Mac here, so we do not list it as playable.
