Questions & answers

No. The game runs right on your Mac, not on a server somewhere - no blurry video, no lag, and no internet needed while you play.

Any Apple Silicon Mac - M1 or newer - with macOS 14 or later. The faster your chip, the smoother the game.

Most single-player games - yes. Only anticheat-protected multiplayer (EAC, BattlEye) will not run - a macOS limitation, not Hrava. Check your game in the compatibility catalog.

No, it is not an emulator. Hrava translates the game to your Mac's native language on the fly - no middle layers, so almost no speed loss.

Yes. Payments happen on a secure PCI-DSS checkout page - Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, PayPal. We never see or store your card details.

Everything - all features and all future updates. Pay once and use it forever, on your Macs. No yearly charges.

No. Hrava connects to your Steam account and installs games itself - nothing extra to set up.

Hrava is cheaper - a one-time purchase versus $54 every year - and it configures everything per game automatically, where CrossOver is mostly manual. Hrava is about Steam games; CrossOver is better for Windows work apps. Details at /vs/crossover/.

Whisky was discontinued in April 2025 - no more updates. Hrava is a actively maintained alternative: it configures everything and installs Steam games itself. Comparison at /vs/whisky/.

Yes. Hrava is a one-time purchase - play as much as you want. GeForce NOW is a rental at ~$100-200 per year, with a 100-hour monthly cap and a fast-internet requirement. Details at /vs/geforce-now/.

No. Hrava translates the game to your Mac's native language - no separate Windows needed, and nothing to pay for it. Parallels and VMware, by contrast, require an installed Windows and run games worse.

There is no free version - Hrava unlocks after purchase. But there is a 14-day refund window: buy it, try it on your own games, and if it does not click - we refund you, no interrogation.

Yes - Hrava has full controller support. Xbox, PlayStation DualSense and DualShock, and most other Bluetooth or USB gamepads work out of the box. Connect over Bluetooth or with a cable and the game detects it automatically - no drivers, no manual button mapping. You can play entirely with the controller - menus and all - without ever touching the keyboard.
