Will Skryim be available to play on mac?

I'm getting a macbook pro very soon and was wondering if this will be available on the platform. Thanks.

No, but you should get a PC instead. SAGE_OF_FIRE

You're getting a Mac? My condolences then.

I'm not getting it for gaming. I was more just curious if it were to come onto the mac, that I might be able to play a bit. Just curious....bobdood99

It's a gaming forum, surprised?

Alright, to give you a more fair reply.

It will most likely use DirectX one way or another, and not have an OpenGL version meaning there is no chance in hell it will run on OS X, and you will either need to run windows on your mac.

And as people mentioned, if you just want to play newer releases, do at least get something for your money, and get a properly specced laptop

Is what will probably be one of, if not the most, demanding games since Crysis going to be on Mac? No. It is not.

Theyre right though. There's no way hell be playing any good games on a macbook. Especially Skyrim. I'll probably be getting a gaming rig just for skyrim. Theres no way a macbook can handle something like that. It probably cant play the trailer. It's just like how everyone told me to get a desktop if i was going to play games. But it was too late as I had already bought this laptop. Theyre trying to stop him before it is too late.

The sheer amount of Mac-hate that spawned from an innocent, honest question is disgusting.

To answer your question, TC, I sincerely doubt it. It's going to run natively on Windows -- if you don't have a 360 or a PS3, I would recommend bootcamping your Mac if you want to play Skyrim. Games are starting to come out for the Mac more and more these days, but it'll be a long time (if ever) that a lot of games come out for the Mac, near the number of games that come out for the PC.

I agree. One thing is to suggest a PC instead of a MAC for gaming, but another is to just outright insult the poster saying he got ripped off etc etc etc

Great idea, might struggle anyway though...

You're getting a Mac? My condolences then.

And people never buy PCs for the same reason?

Anyway, if you run bootcamp you should have no problem running Skyrim, though I'm not sure at what detail settings. An official Mac version would be unlikely.

Probably not on OSX as other have stated but if you want to install windows than you can probably run it, albeit if you don't mind lowest settings and 15fps.

Wait, he's not getting a PC?

The attitude of some people on this forum really does my head in sometimes.
