Can you play Halo Infinite on Mac?
No, not today. Halo Infinite is online-only and its anti-cheat (Arbiter and Easy Anti-Cheat) does not allow Macs.

Why Halo Infinite won’t run on Mac
Halo Infinite has no offline mode, and every online match is protected by Arbiter and Easy Anti-Cheat, which checks that the game runs on real Windows. On a Mac it does not, so the game is closed or you are refused at the door.
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.

Ratings combine Valve’s Steam Deck rating, anti-cheat data and our own checks. When the facts change, the status here follows.
This may change
Anti-cheat rules and Mac support move. If the publisher changes either one, Sommelier shows the new status here and in the app, so there is nothing for you to keep checking.

Can I play Halo Infinite on Mac with Sommelier?
No. Sommelier tells you this before you download the game, so you don’t spend 50 GB on it.
Is there a workaround?
Not a reliable one. Apple Silicon Macs can’t run Windows directly, and anti-cheat like Arbiter and Easy Anti-Cheat usually blocks virtual machines too. We don’t recommend trying to get around it: it can get your account banned.
Will Halo Infinite 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.
Which similar games do run?
See the list above: they are rated by the same checks, and we only list games that work or should work.
