Star Trek Infinite (Mac)

Martina Nikolova

Star Trek Infinite is among the few Mac compatible games released in the past months. Owners of both Intel and Apple Silicon MacBooks to enjoy them natively, without needing to resort to elaborate workarounds. And since we are both sci-fi 4X nerds as well as among the select few, who actually think Macs can be decent gaming machines, we decided to give this game a go and share our experiences with it.

If you are eager to try the game for yourself and don’t have the patience to read through what we have to say about it, here’s a quick guide to help you download and install the Star Trek Infinite Mac version on your Apple machine.

Playing the native macOS version of the game via Steam is a straightforward process. Here’s how you can do it:

  • First, If you don’t already have Steam installed on your Mac, you can download it from the Steam website .
  • I f you don’t have a Steam account, you’ll need to create one. If you’re already registered, simply log in.
  • After logging in, search for the game and click on it to go to its page where you can purchase it. Alternatively, you can check CDKeys for discounts on Star Trek Infinite and buy the game from there.
  • Next open your Steam library, find the game, and click the ‘Install’ button and wait for the process to complete. Once the game’s ready, you can start it through its ‘Play’ button.

Our experience with Star Trek Infinite on Mac

Contrary to what the the game’s Steam page says about the Star Trek Infinite Mac requirements, the game doesn’t actually require a whopping 15 gigs of Memory to run on an Apple computer. We opted to test the game on our MacBook Air M1 and its 8 gigs of unified memory were more than enough for this game.

However, even though the game’s performance, as determined by our testing hardware, was reasonable while running the game at medium settings, the real issue came from the current state of the game itself. You see both PC and Mac users have reported that the game has a lot of bugs and is prone to crashing, and we can attest to the validity of those complaints. It seems that the Apple crowd have it particularly bad in this instance, with the Star Trek Infinite macOS port being full of issues that make the game difficult to enjoy.

According to other users , who’ve played the game on PC, the Windows version also seems to have some annoying bugs, but is generally more stable and less frustrating.

Within the first several hours of playing the game, we experienced several crashes, especially after completing first contact missions. Also, we weren’t even able to load the Tutorial as any attempts to do so threw us out of the game. Good thing that gameplay-wise, Star Trek Infinite is basically a re-skin of Stellaris, so we had a good idea of what we were supposed to do.

In other words, if you are thinking about getting Star Trek Infinite on your Mac, we recommend giving it some time until a patch is released that hopefully fixes most of the issues present in the game’s macOS port. Otherwise, the frustration you might get from trying to play the game in its current state my make you lose your taste for it as a whole.

Are there other ways to play Star Trek Infinite on Mac?

If the current state of the Star Trek Infinite Mac version is so unpolished, and the PC version plays better, then is there a way to play that version on a Mac? There are, in fact, a couple of ways that can be attempted, such as using CrossOver or Boot Camp , but they come with their own set of disadvantages, so we cannot recommend them for a game that has a native macOS version that will probably have most of its bugs patched out in the coming weeks.

A good alternative for playing Star Trek Infinite on an Apple computer would have been cloud gaming, but right now the game isn’t available on any cloud platform, so this is also not a valid option at the moment. If the game becomes available on any cloud services in the future, we’ll make sure to update this post accordingly, because this method of gaming on a Mac is viable even in cases where the specific game is supported for macOS.

Ultimately, as we said, if you are eager to try out the latest grand strategy from Paradox Interactive, getting its native version is your best bet, but our advice is to wait a week or two until the main problems with the Star Trek Infinite Mac port are taken care of.

With utmost fidelity to Star Trek lore, the game introduces fresh avenues for exploration as players navigate the complexities of empire management, handle intricate economic systems, and interact with enigmatic civilizations.

" Star Trek: Infinite represents a monumental achievement for our team at Nimble Giant Entertainment.

Softonic review

A thrilling expansion to the Star Trek franchise

Star Trek: Infinite is a premium, exhilarating strategy game that adds to the highly acclaimed sci-fi franchise Star Trek . You can encounter exciting combat, shocking secrets, and powerful characters. The game is set several decades before Star Trek: The Next Generation , making it more exciting than ever to experience.

Star Trek: Infinite was developed by Paradox Interactive alongside other successful franchises such as Stellaris and Crusader Kings . Its gameplay provides a deep dive into the iconic Star Trek universe, and you must run and command one of the four primary powers in the galaxy .

Command a fleet and protect your empire

Star Trek: Infinite game has four major powers —the United Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire, the Cardassian Union, and the Romulan Star Empire. As such, your primary objective is to lead your fleet and protect your empire by governing one out of four major powers in the galaxy. In each power, you can experience unique stories, traits, and quests—remember their distinction as you navigate through the game.

Every faction boasts its unique roster of iconic characters . When you choose to align with the United Federation of Planets, your fleet can be under the capable command of renowned figures such as Jean-Luc Picard , along with other distinguished officers like Benjamin Sisko and Katherine Janeway . Additionally, you will find other memorable playable characters, such as Spock from the Romulans, Makbar from the Cardassians, and Elim Garak .

You can take control of these characters to progress through the distinctive faction Mission Trees or uncover specific narrative events as you venture through the Alpha and Beta quadrants . In this game, each faction offers a different gameplay experience and objectives within their mission trees, which will encourage you to explore various playstyles. While you have the freedom to shape your overall gameplay, when it comes to Mission Trees and narrative events, it's crucial to follow the designated style and objectives associated with each faction.

Commanding the fleet amid Borg challenges

Commanding your fleet is not easy because you will constantly deal with difficult choices, hostile enemies , and challenging quests . Moreover, one of the game's highlights is battling it out with one of Star Trek’s most famous antagonists— the Borg . Known for its self-regenerating abilities, metal-infused bodies, and collective minds , this alien group is one of the most resilient enemies you will encounter.

On top of taking care of your chosen faction, you can also travel to the other major powers to gather skills and possibly invade other factions. In addition, this game also boasts exemplary visual graphics , making the overall gaming experience more enjoyable. However, this game might feature content unsuitable for all age groups due to its generally mature themes and content. It is also important to note that the system requirements are consequently steep due to the game’s high-quality animation.

A sci-fi game worth trying out

Star Trek: Infinite, developed by Paradox Interactive, is a strategy game that immerses players in the renowned Star Trek universe. Set before Star Trek: The Next Generation, it offers thrilling combat, compelling narratives, and iconic characters. Face the relentless Borg, explore diverse playstyles, and appreciate the exceptional visual graphics. However, be mindful of mature content and demanding system requirements. Command your fleet and shape the galaxy's destiny in this captivating Star Trek adventure.

  • Ability to run your factions
  • Fight the legendary Borg aliens
  • High-quality graphics
  • Iconic characters
  • Unique faction gameplay

  Here’s today’s limited announcement about the new game, which will be available for Windows PC and MacOS users later this year.  

Paradox Interactive and Paramount Consumer Products Announce A New Grand Strategy Game, Star Trek: Infinite Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before, Exploring Unique Stories And Quests On PC And macOS This Fall   STOCKHOLM — June 8, 2023 — Paradox Interactive and developer Nimble Giant Entertainment, under license from Paramount Consumer Products, today revealed Star Trek: Infinite, a grand strategy game based on the iconic sci-fi franchise. Set a few decades before Star Trek: The Next Generation, players will run an entire fleet within the Star Trek universe, commanding one of four major powers in the galaxy: the United Federation of Planets, Romulan Star Empire, Cardassian Union, or Klingon Empire. Star Trek: Infinite is coming to PC and macOS this Fall.   Star Trek: Infinite puts players in command of one of four major powers in the galaxy, each with individualized traits, stories, quests, and more to make their play feel distinct. With stunning visuals, difficult choices, and unique gameplay, this game allows players to experience a beloved franchise in a new way as they navigate contact with other empires and worlds.   “It is an honor to bring one of entertainment’s most iconic properties to life for our players and Star Trek’s multigenerational fanbase,” said Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive. “We know how much this franchise means to fans all over the world, and we are working closely with Nimble Giant and Paramount Consumer Products to create a faithful and fulfilling game that lives up to their expectations.”

This tease comes ahead of a promised full unveiling scheduled for June 16 (purportedly ‘Captain Picard Day’), where Paradox Interactive promises much more information about what fans can expect in the upcoming  Star Trek: Infinite game.
