If you were wondering whether you can play Tears of the Kingdom on Mac, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

Tears of the Kingdom is the latest Zelda release and is the sequel to the hugely successful Breath of the Wild. While Tears of the Kingdom will have some similarities to Breath of the Wild – they both take place in the same general map, for example – there have also been many promised differences. Link will have new abilities, like Ultrahand and Fuse. There will also be new amiibo, and a whole host of characters to meet and interact with. With all that on offer, it’s no wonder gamers are wondering if you can play Tears of the Kingdom on Mac.

Let’s get into it.

Tears of the Kingdom

Can you get Tears of the Kingdom on Mac?

In short, no. Tears of the Kingdom is limited to the Nintendo Switch family only. You can only play Tears of the Kingdom on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, and Nintendo Switch OLED model. For Switch users this means the only difficult is deciding which console is best to play Tears of the Kingdom on. However, for PS5, PS4, Xbox Wii U, and PC users, Tears of the Kingdom remains just out of reach.

It also seems unlikely that the game will be ported to any of these consoles at a later date as Tears of the Kingdom is a Nintendo game and it makes a certain amount of sense that Nintendo would wish to keep their game to Nintendo console compatibility only. However, never say never.

We’re going to be keeping an eye on this and will update the site regularly as new information comes in. Make sure to check back in periodically so you don’t miss anything.
