What MacGames does for it.

Elden Ring is a Windows game. MacGames brings the parts it needs to run on a Mac, and sets them up for you.

DirectX 12 through Metal
Apple's D3DMetal turns the game's DirectX 12 calls into Metal.
Windows runtimes installed for you
The first launch installs the Microsoft Visual C++ runtimes the game needs, from Steam's own copies.
Offline play
The game starts directly, without its anti-cheat, so it runs in offline mode.
One Steam for your games
The game installs into the shared Steam library, so you sign in to Steam once for all your games.

Store: Steam, in the shared Steam library. Elden Ring on Steam
Graphics: Apple D3DMetal
Mac: Apple silicon, M1 or later
