What does this mean?

Rosetta 2 means the Mac version is an Intel build that Apple Silicon Macs run automatically through Rosetta 2 translation. GeForce NOW is cloud streaming: the game runs on NVIDIA's servers, not on your Mac, so it is shown as a separate way to play, not as Mac compatibility.

How to play Skullgirls 2nd Encore on Mac

Skullgirls 2nd Encore has an official Mac version, but it's an Intel build. On Apple Silicon Macs (M1 or newer) macOS runs it automatically through Rosetta 2, a built-in translation layer, so it's nearly as simple as a native game.

  1. Get the game. Buy and download Skullgirls 2nd Encore on Steam.
  2. Install Rosetta 2 (one time). The first time you open an Intel app, macOS offers to install Rosetta 2. Click Install. You can also run "softwareupdate --install-rosetta" in Terminal beforehand.
  3. Launch and play. Rosetta translates the game invisibly in the background. For a game like this, performance is typically excellent, and you won't notice it's happening.

Or play Skullgirls 2nd Encore in the cloud with GeForce NOW

Skullgirls 2nd Encore is on NVIDIA's GeForce NOW, a cloud gaming service with a Mac app (macOS 10.15 or later) and a browser version. The game runs on NVIDIA's servers and streams to your screen, so there is nothing to install or tune, and it plays the same on an Intel Mac as on Apple Silicon.

  • Own the game on Steam. GeForce NOW streams your copy; it does not sell or include it.
  • A membership. Either the free tier, which shows ads while you queue and has shorter sessions, or a paid Performance or Ultimate membership (up to 1440p or 5K, with 100 hours of play a month).
  • A good connection. at least 15 Mbps for 720p or 25 Mbps for 1080p, ideally over Ethernet or 5GHz Wi-Fi.
