Mythic
What Mythic is
Mythic is an open-source game launcher for macOS that runs Windows games through a custom implementation of Apple’s Game Porting Toolkit. It combines macOS games, Windows games, Epic games and manually downloaded titles in one library. Users can import games from other launchers or local installations, which Mythic can organize and prepare for launch. Game settings include options to change launch arguments and verify file integrity. Mythic supports downloading, updating and installing games from multiple storefronts, and can create separate containerized Windows instances to isolate some games. Release notes describe Epic Games integration and a Steam game type. The listed plan is free and requires macOS 14 or later. The site describes Mythic as an alpha release; the latest listed release is v0.6.0, dated December 27, 2025. Documentation warns that most games using EasyAntiCheat and most other anti-cheats will not work without workarounds. An older installation guide says macOS may block Mythic because it is not notarized; it explains opening the app through Privacy & Security settings.
