Hey everyone!
As Keith mentioned in the Q3 Producer Letter, we’re looking into SWTOR being playable on Mac machines! We’ve been doing internal testing for a Mac Launcher, and the team feels comfortable opening up a test session for players who are interested in seeing how SWTOR performs with MacOS on Macs with Apple Silicon. For clarity, we are creating a native Mac launcher, not a native Mac game client. The native Mac launcher is intended to automate all of the prerequisites and settings currently required to play SWTOR on a Mac computer.
We will be hosting a closed technical test for eligible players in the coming days. Here’s what we’re looking for:
- Players who have an active subscription or Preferred account.
- Players who use a Mac with an M-Series Chipset: M1, M2, etc…
- MacOS 14 Sonoma or newer - Older MacOS versions will not work during this test.
- This is not compatible with pre 2020 Macs with Intel processors. To find out if you have an Intel-based Mac, following these steps:
- Click the Apple icon in the upper left corner
- Choose “About this Mac”
- If the window shows an item labeled “chip”, you have a Mac with Apple Silicon and you will be able to participate in this test.
- If the window shows an item labeled “processor”, you have an Intel-based Mac and will not be able to participate in this test.
If you meet the criteria above and are interested in helping us test the Mac Launcher, please fill out this form! If you are accepted into the test, you will receive an email with further instructions from us.
Special notes:
- While this is a technical test, the launcher will be using a live environment.
- This is a technical test, so unexpected issues may pop up such as not being able to log into the game or the client crashing. Should these issues occur, there will not be loss of data eg. inventory or characters.
- All technical tests will be available in EN only.
We will keep the form open until October 8.
Thanks!
