While the Android apps will require a degree of emulation to make them work on M1 MacBooks (or Windows 10 devices with ARM processors), the fact that Android apps usually run on ARM means that there’s no need for “binary translation” as BlueStacks Chief Architect Sharad Agarwal reveals (opens in new tab). At the moment, it only runs on Intel or AMD processors, but ARM support will be coming soon. Parallels Desktop and VMWare Fusion also let you install ARM-versions of Windows 11 on Apple Silicon Macs.BlueStacks (opens in new tab) is a popular Android emulator that brings Android apps to PCs. However, VirtualBox (which is free to use) can cause performance issues, while paid solutions such as Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion work much better. Virtualization software also allows you to install Windows on Mac. Just be sure to apply any Windows updates after that to improve software compatibility and enhance performance. Simply download the Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft and then use the Boot Camp Assistant to set up Windows. If you use an Intel Mac, you can install Windows as a separate operating system via Boot Camp. Although that requires a lot of time and disk space, you might end up with a better Among Us experience compared to the touchscreen-based Android and iPad versions. You can then grab the PC version of the game via Steam. For that, you must set up Windows on your Mac.

Not-So-Easy Method: Install Windows on MacĪnother way to play Among Us on a MacBook involves installing the desktop version for Windows PCs.
