Can you play DiRT Rally 2.0 on Mac?
No, not today. The anti-cheat in DiRT Rally 2.0 (VAC) does not allow Macs.

Why DiRT Rally 2.0 won’t run on Mac
DiRT Rally 2.0 is protected by VAC, which checks that the game runs on real Windows. On a Mac it does not, so the game is closed or you are refused.
The anti-cheat belongs to the game’s publisher, so Sommelier or any other Mac tool can’t switch it off. It also has nothing to do with how fast your Mac is.

Rocket LeagueQuestions about DiRT Rally 2.0 on Mac
Can I play DiRT Rally 2.0 on Mac with Sommelier?
No. Sommelier tells you this before you download the game, so you don’t spend 100 GB on it.
Is there a workaround?
Not a reliable one. Apple Silicon Macs can’t run Windows directly, and anti-cheat like VAC usually blocks virtual machines too. We don’t recommend trying to get around it: it can get your account banned.
Will DiRT Rally 2.0 ever work on Mac?
Only if the publisher changes its anti-cheat or the game’s Mac support. Sommelier shows the new status on this page and in the app when that happens.
