AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe ZeniMax Online Studios Launcher has not been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon and is currently only available as a 32-bit and 64-bit Intel application. The launcher continues to function under Rosetta 2 translation today, but Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28, scheduled for September 2028. At that point, this launcher will stop working entirely on Apple Silicon Macs. ZeniMax Online Studios has not publicly announced a native Apple Silicon build for the launcher, nor has the game itself received a native macOS version. Your options are to contact ZeniMax directly to inquire about native Apple Silicon support plans, or to plan for transitioning to playing ESO on a different platform before the September 2028 deadline if a native macOS build does not materialize. If you have a Windows partition or virtualization software like Parallels Desktop with native Apple Silicon support, those remain viable interim solutions after Rosetta 2 is retired.
