I know many of you will disagree with the fact that Age of Empires (I, II, III or IV) has to be made available on the Macbook Pro’s with an M1-chip. Did someone manage to make Age of Empires IV running on a MacBook Pro M1 (Pro/Max)?

The same applies if you were to use Windows 7, etc. However, if a specific game that allows cross platform – you will show up as Windows 10 since that is the operating system the game would be running on. If you’re utilizing Windows 10, you’ll generally be pinned against other PC/Windows users. To answer your second question of “Do other players have to be using Parallels or can you play against PC based players as well?” – every game platform has specific requirements for cross platform game play. We have a ton of users who play Overwatch, AoE and more on macOS with a Windows 10 virtual machine with Parallels Desktop. Hey Jeremy! You’re absolutely able to play games that are MMO’s. You can see this for yourself in this short video: I won’t keep you in suspense any longer: because Parallels Desktop™ for Mac moved to Apple Metal and now supports DirectX 11, Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition plays great in Parallels Desktop on my MacBook Pro. I wrote about Age of Empires: Definitive Edition and Parallels Desktop in an earlier blog post, and in this post I will discuss Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. These updates improved the graphics quality and also moved to DirectX 11 as the graphics library upon which the games are based.

It would appear that Microsoft has reconsidered the decision to end the Age of Empires line, as they’ve recently released two significant updates-Age of Empires: Definitive Edition and Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. So, you can imagine my dismay when Microsoft announced in 2008 that they were shutting down Ensemble Studios, the development studio for all the Age of Empires titles. As I‘ve written in earlier blog posts, Age of Empires is my most favorite game of all time.
