Ford explained why Overwatch will not be making it to the Mac. It’s odd considering that every other Blizzard title has graced Apple’s line of computers. With Overwatch being available on the PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC, it’s one of the rare Blizzard games that’s not on the Mac. Ford said this is due to “several technology decisions” Apple has made on Macs, which make it “a little difficult” for Blizzard to create a Mac version of the game.

Tim Ford, the lead software engineer for gameplay systems on Overwatch, told Gadgets 360 that Blizzard has “no plans” of launching Overwatch on Mac. Unfortunately, a comment made by an Overwatch engineer in a new interview suggests Blizzard is still not planning on launching the game for Mac anytime soon. During the event, no news was given regarding Overwatch expanding to Macs.

Blizzard just wrapped up its annual BlizzCon event, in which it unveiled a new support class for Overwatch named Moira, a new map called Blizzard World, and a new character cinematic focusing on Reinhardt. The Reddit thread discussing the news theorized the potential for this being a bug, or that it could be a hint for an upcoming announcement related to Overwatch‘s debut on Mac. Redditor Heyoni shared a few images of Overwatch appearing in on their Mac, but as of now the game is not able to launch and delivers an error message when “Play” is clicked. The installer is properly signed by Blizzard and launches - an app that centralizes all of the player’s Blizzard games into one place - with Overwatch appearing in the “Games” tab.

A Reddit user on r/macgaming (via MacGamerHQ) managed to download an unlisted installer for Overwatch on Mac - titled “Overwatch-Setup.zip” - by apparently altering the download link for the PC version of the game available on the official website. New rumors surfaced this weekend suggesting Blizzard’s first-person shooter Overwatch could be launching soon on Mac.
