Control Ultimate Editionon your Mac.
Control Ultimate Edition has a native Apple Silicon Mac version - Remedy released it in 2024 with hardware-accelerated ray tracing and MetalFX. That is the better way to play it, and better than anything a compatibility layer can do. Hrava is for the Windows-only games that will never get a Mac build.

Before you press Play
A profile, not a promise.
This is an existing catalog profile, not a benchmark or a guarantee for every Mac. Check the setup and game-specific notes before purchasing.
Game updates, launchers and anti-cheat can change compatibility. A catalog listing is not a guarantee that every mode works on every configuration.
Yes, and it is the better way to play. Remedy released Control Ultimate Edition natively for Apple Silicon Macs in 2024. It is a real Mac application built for M-series chips, with hardware-accelerated ray tracing on M3 and newer, plus MetalFX upscaling and HDR.
That is a genuinely better experience than any compatibility layer can produce, including ours. A translation layer converts DirectX calls at runtime; a native build was compiled for your hardware from the start and can use Metal features directly. For this game, buy the native version.
Cloud gaming needs no compatibility layer, but you are renting forever and playing a compressed video feed. A local layer costs once and keeps working offline. See the full comparison.
