In this video, we test whether Steam works on ARM64 Windows running through Parallels Desktop on Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, and M3). With the transition to ARM-based architecture, many Mac users are wondering if they can still enjoy PC gaming without native Boot Camp. We walk through the installation process, explore compatibility issues, test actual gameplay performance, and evaluate whether running Steam on Windows ARM through virtualization is a viable option for casual or serious gamers. Find out which titles launch, how performance compares to native Windows PCs, and if Apple’s Metal architecture and virtualization layers offer a smooth experience—or fall short. Whether you’re a tech tinkerer, Mac gamer, or developer testing Windows apps, this is a must-watch for understanding the current limitations and workarounds for gaming on Apple Silicon.
