AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis Intel-only game continues to run under Rosetta 2 on Apple Silicon Macs today, but Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), so it will stop launching on that release unless a native build becomes available. Feral Interactive, the publisher responsible for bringing Sid Meier's Railroads to macOS, has not yet announced a native Apple Silicon version. Check the Feral Interactive website and the Mac App Store page for the game periodically to see if a native build is planned. If you want to ensure you can continue playing this game after September 2028, you may need to consider other railroad business simulations that run natively on Apple Silicon, such as Transport Tycoon Deluxe (available through ScummVM, which has a native Apple Silicon build) or newer games in the Tycoon series that are being actively maintained for modern hardware.
