Just use the same username and password that you use to log onto your Xbox One. OneCast will prompt you to login into your Xbox with your Microsoft account details.
You can try OneCast for free although after 14 days it costs $10 to buy a license key for the full version. OneCast is extremely easy to setup, there’s almost no lag when playing and you can setup multiple profiles for multiple Xboxes.
OneCast allows you to stream Xbox One games to macOS in 1080p and connect an Xbox controller to your Mac via Bluetooth or USB. Installing Windows on your Mac also opens up a whole world of other advantages allowing you to install PC only apps and games on macOS. You also need an Xbox pass but you can get one for an introductory offer of $1 for the first month and then $5 per month afterwards.Įven better, you can connect your Xbox controller via Bluetooth meaning you can enjoy the full Xbox experience on your Mac. Parallels is our favorite way to run Windows on a Mac and the latest version of Parallels 15 supports Xbox Beta from the Windows store which allows you to play Xbox games in Windows 10. Here’s an overview of both ways so you can choose the best one for you.
If you just want a cloud solution, you can also use Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service. One is by running Windows on your Mac using Parallels and the other is via an app called OneCast.
If you find the driver does not work for you, please attempt and find out as much as you can about the device, preferably using the Apple "USB Prober" application provided with the developer tools, but the output of System Profiler for the device may be enough. I have added a version of the driver without support for the Guitar Hero controller, to allow the Guitar Hero for Mac game to work (it attempts to access hardware directly, which doesn't work if a real driver has claimed the device). Sadly, my PowerMac has died, which as my primary development machine has slowed progress. I've not yet checked the wireless receiver for compatibility. The latest release of the driver includes support, and I'll be updating the USB information section of this website shortly.
I have got the Microsoft ChatPad working with my wired controller. I have however been informed that 64-bit and 32-bit builds are both working. It also contains 64-bit binaries, however I've been unable to test them because Apple have disabled my MacBook from booting into 64-bit mode. I've released a version which will hopefully install and work fine on 32-bit Snow Leopard. I have created a USB driver which allows you to use wired XBox 360 Controllers via USB, and wireless XBox 360 Controllers via the Microsoft Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows, on your OSX machine, including support for the Apple Force Feedback library.
