Everything you’ll need is here
If you want to get into gaming, your options are quite limited.
Clunky options: Running ARM based windows via Parallels. My experience is most x86 apps don't work too well, and I've had very poor luck with games. Wine (CrossOver) same result as Parallels - most things don't seem to run
Non-clunky options (but expensive). Buy/build a PC. Really if you want to play games, getting a cheap gaming PC, is really the most seamless and easiest approach. Its not the cheapest approach, but its the one that is guaranteed to get you up and running with zero fuss.
Another non-clunky option is just limit yourself to what's available on steam for games. The selection isn't great, especially for AAA games, but there are games.
I’m not sure, but I think he was asking specifically about Diablo 4?
But there is yet another non-clunky option: buy an intel Mac, either new or used, and use Bootcamp to run Windows natively on that.
Thanks for the heads up. I saw his mentioning D4, but I didn't know what that was, i.e., a specific game, or something else
Have since installed Parrallels and Diablo 4..
I have a 16inch 2019 MBP laptop but I get an error saying my GPU doesn't support d12x!
My Studio gets an error message on startup saying no GPU found!
Parallels support seems to be pretty poor too. Did some searching on this and people with the issue get linked to an outdated article with options that no longer exist within parallels to fix it.
ETA: I totally misunderstood your question, and spent way too much time answering the wrong question.
My apologies

Oh no I read your pre-edited reply earlier and it made me think about it… making space on the 2019 I tell MBP and doing boot camp there. At least I could try the game that way.
Gathering motivation to do it though, urned hours doing parallels and installs on both comps yesterday. Need to undo and go again!
Thanks really! Simplest solutions are the best

I hear you!
I finally found my thread from back in the day when I had found an Installation method that worked for me and my Mac.
You may not even have to worry about the USB key step. I had to, because of the age of my Mac.
Let us know when you decide what to do?

So you don't have an Intel Mac with the capability of running Bootcamp then? That really seems to be the only way to make it work currently.
I play D2 quite a bit on Bootcamp with my late 2014 27" iMac.
I recommend Shadow. It’s a cloud PC meant for playing games. That’s what I use for my gaming fix.
This is the issue. Any chance MacOS Ventura came with new bootcamp drivers?
