Playing Among Us on Mac – Intel Chip
If you have an Intel Mac and want to play Among Us, there’s one main way to do it: download and set up an Android emulator. If you’d rather not use an emulator, you can use Bootcamp to switch to Windows and get Among Us through Steam.
Before you start, make sure your macOS is fully updated. If it’s not, BlueStacks might not work well.
For now, we’ll focus on using Android Emulators. The developers of Among Us support this method as an official way for Mac users to play, so you don’t need to worry about getting banned. But if you’re still unsure, you can switch to Windows and use the Windows version of the game instead.
Steps to Play Among Us on an Intel Mac:
- Download BlueStacks from here if you don’t have it. If you do, open it.
