Saints Row: The Third on Mac

There is no macOS build of Saints Row: The Third or of Remastered. The routes people discuss are CrossOver, Whisky, and Parallels. I can only stand behind one of those with a partial source, so this page stays at one source and does not promise a playable Mac install.

Three routes, uneven evidence

CrossOver’s public tips include a line telling people not to fetch Remastered from GOG. I could read the title of that tip. The body was blocked, so I am not repeating install steps I did not see. Whisky and Parallels are the other two names in Mac-gaming writeups. I do not have a 2026 test log for either on this game.

Apple silicon adds a translation layer, either inside CrossOver’s own stack or via Rosetta, depending on the wrapper. That sentence is general Mac knowledge, not a Saints Row benchmark. I will not attach an fps number to an M-series chip.

What to do instead

If you need a supported machine, use Windows, a console, or the 2026 phone apps. A Mac remains a compatibility project. Status on this page: 1 source.

FAQ

Is there a Mac App Store version?

No native macOS version showed up on Steam, GOG, or the console stores.

Should I buy the GOG build for CrossOver?

A CrossOver tip says not to use the GOG Remastered build. I only confirmed the title of that tip, so treat it as 1 source and read CrossOver’s page yourself before you buy.
