In order to play, you'll need to keep a copy of macOS Mojave or older. If you use macOS Catalina, the 32 bit version also won't work.
Crossplay only works when both games are of the same version. If you happen to have a backup of an old version of the game (such as with Time Machine), you could try and replace the new version with the old one.ĭowngrading the game is not recommended, since there is no way to ensure both macOS and Windows PCs end up with the same version of the game. Unfortunately, there is no such option for the Apple App Store. If you owned the Steam version, you could obtain legacy access, which will downgrade the game to the old 32 bit version. We do our best to provide the best gameplay experience on all platforms and given the option between retiring Sid Meier's Civilization V on Mac or updating the game to 64-bit while disabling crossplay, we opted for the latter. Unfortunately, these changes mean crossplay between macOS and Windows will no longer be compatible. Unfortunately, since macOS Catalina released, crossplay between Windows and Mac is no longer possible.ĭue to Apple's changing ecosystem with macOS Catalina, we updated Civilization V to continue to work on modern systems.
