How to play SteamWorld Dig 2 on Mac
SteamWorld Dig 2 has an official Mac version, but it's an Intel build. On Apple Silicon Macs (M1 or newer) macOS runs it automatically through Rosetta 2 — a built-in translation layer — so it's nearly as simple as a native game.
- Get the game. Buy and download SteamWorld Dig 2 on Steam or your usual store.
- Install Rosetta 2 (one time). The first time you open an Intel app, macOS offers to install Rosetta 2 — click Install. You can also run "softwareupdate --install-rosetta" in Terminal beforehand.
- Launch and play. Rosetta translates the game invisibly in the background. For a game like this, performance is typically excellent — you won't notice it's happening.
