Have you gotten Cuphead running on your Mac? What boss gave you the most trouble? Drop a comment below.

Let’s break down the correct ways to download and play Cuphead on Mac OS X (from Catalina to the latest Sequoia). First, the bad news. Studio MDHR originally built Cuphead for Windows (DirectX) and consoles. While they released a Tesla arcade version and an iPhone port via Netflix Games, they have never released a native Apple Silicon or Intel macOS version on Steam or the Mac App Store.

Go grab your Windows license from Steam, download Whisky, and get ready to parry some pink projectiles.

If you’ve been itching to test your patience and reflexes against the run-and-gun chaos of Cuphead , you’re not alone. With its stunning 1930s rubber-hose animation style and a jazz soundtrack that won’t quit, this game is a modern classic.

Despite what some sketchy “free download” buttons might tell you, there is no official .dmg file from Studio MDHR. So, how do you actually get Cuphead running on your MacBook, iMac, or Mac Mini?

Studio MDHR has not announced one, and at this point, they likely never will. But thanks to Apple’s Game Porting Toolkit (via Whisky), playing Cuphead on a Mac has never been easier.
