Games for Mac that Can Be Played with PlayStation

Macs do not have a reputation for being computers for video games and in part it is normal because of the huge catalog that we find in Windows or the broader possibilities of customization of these computers. However, in the Mac App Store itself we can find interesting titles like the ones we show you in this post, all of them are games for Mac that can be played with the PlayStation or Xbox controller. Do you dare to discover us?

What PS and Xbox controllers are for Mac?

The following controllers are the ones that are selected as compatible with Mac video games:

  • Dualshock 4 (PlayStation)
  • Model 1708 Bluetooth (Xbox)
  • Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller
  • Xbox adaptive controller

As reported by Apple itself on its website, it is working with Microsoft to ensure prompt compatibility of the Xbox Series X controller , the company’s latest generation of game consoles. At the moment nothing has been discussed with Sony, the manufacturer of PlayStation 5, although it is expected that its DualSense will also be compatible in the future.

The way to connect them

These devices work on the Mac as if they were just another Bluetooth accessory. You will only have to follow these steps to connect them:

  • Open System Preferences on the Mac.
  • Go to Bluetooth.
  • Put the controller in pairing mode.
  • Select the controller on the Mac.
  • Click on “Connect”.

List of compatible games

The bad news at the moment is that there are few games that are compatible, although the ones that do exist are tremendously interesting. It must also be said that all of them are paid, but if you are interested in their theme or even know them already, they will be well worth downloading. It should be noted that most of these are available on other platforms such as PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo video consoles, so they are of a very high level.

39 Days to Mars

This is an interesting adventure title that has the possibility of a single player game or cooperative game mode. It has a fantastic mix of puzzles that makes it extremely addictive. The story revolves around Sir Albert Wickes and the, quite literally, The Honorable Clarence Baxter, two explorers from the 19th century who must pilot a very particular spaceship to travel to Mars for the first time. Of course, it is not a simple adventure because difficulties will appear along the way that will make the trip more complex, this part being where the aforementioned puzzles enter.

Bad North

The graphics of this game captivate from the first moment, but also the story behind it, which is a very good mix between adventure and strategy, with touches of platform games. Everything is located in a territory in which the protagonist lives, which is being besieged and even the king has died. Invaders of Viking origin have to be fought and choosing a good tactic for this will be essential. If we add the possibility of playing with the game console controller, it is a gem to discover.
