THE APP

Less setup work.
More time in game.

PrivatePlay brings the tools, game library, and Windows settings together, while keeping your game accounts in the services you already use.

01

Open the app and get set up

On a fresh install, PrivatePlay downloads verified Wine and Legendary releases and shows their progress in Setup. Mac media support still uses macOS Installer.

02

See your games, not just a list

Browse cover art and a featured game view when artwork is available. Steam trailers play inside the app when the official listing provides one.

03

Know what is happening

Follow install progress, see recent activity, and manage each game's Wine setup.

04

Remove games when you are done

Uninstall an Epic game in PrivatePlay, or open Steam to remove a Steam game there.

GETTING STARTED

A clear path from download to play.

  1. 01

    Open PrivatePlay. Drag it from the DMG to Applications and launch it.

  2. 02

    Watch Setup. Wine and Legendary install on first launch. Approve Apple's Rosetta prompt if it appears, then open the separate Mac media installer.

  3. 03

    Connect Epic or Steam. Sign in with the service you use; Windows Steam remains experimental.

  4. 04

    Choose a game setup. Install a supported title, follow progress, and launch it.

No blanket promises.

Wine can run some Windows games on Mac. A game may still fail because of graphics, anti-cheat, or another launcher.
