Chắc hẳn bạn còn nhớ khi chơi game trên một màn hình dường như là đỉnh cao của giải trí kỹ thuật số? Những ngày tháng đó đã qua lâu rồi. Là một game thủ tận tụy đã dành vô số giờ đồng hồ cả chơi và tối ưu hóa các thiết lập chơi game, tôi có thể nói với bạn rằng việc thiết lập chính xác hai màn hình cho chơi game không chỉ là một bản nâng cấp—đó là một bước chuyển mình. Dù bạn đang phát trực tiếp gameplay của mình, theo dõi các cuộc hội thoại trên Discord trong khi đang chơi game, hay đơn giản chỉ thèm khát một cái nhìn toàn cảnh hấp dẫn, một thiết lập hai màn hình mang lại trải nghiệm mà các màn hình đơn giản không thể so sánh được.

Nhưng đây là vấn đề—việc thiết lập hai màn hình cho chơi game không đơn giản chỉ là cắm thêm một màn hình vào và nhấn nút nguồn. Có những yếu tố phần cứng, cấu hình phần mềm và kỹ thuật tối ưu hóa tạo ra sự khác biệt giữa một trải nghiệm vụng về, khó chịu và một thiên đường chơi game mượt mà. Trong hướng dẫn này, tôi sẽ hướng dẫn bạn qua mọi điều bạn cần biết về việc tạo nên thiết lập chơi game hai màn hình hoàn hảo sẽ cách mạng hóa cách bạn chơi.

Các Phiên Bản Windows Hỗ Trợ

Không phải tất cả các phiên bản của Windows đều hỗ trợ nhiều màn hình qua kết nối Remote Desktop. Đối với chức năng hai màn hình, hãy đảm bảo bạn có:

  • Windows 10 Pro hoặc Enterprise: Những phiên bản này hỗ trợ Remote Desktop với nhiều màn hình một cách tự nhiên.

  • Windows Server (2016 hoặc mới hơn): Các phiên bản Server cung cấp khả năng đa màn hình rộng rãi trong các môi trường doanh nghiệp.

  • Nâng cấp từ Windows Home: Nếu bạn đang sử dụng Windows Home, bạn sẽ cần nâng cấp lên Pro hoặc Enterprise, vì phiên bản Home không hỗ trợ kết nối Remote Desktop.

Các Màn Hình và Cài Đặt Phần Cứng

Trước khi bắt đầu phiên Remote Desktop hai màn hình, hãy xác nhận rằng tất cả các yêu cầu phần cứng đã được đáp ứng:

  • Cấu Hình Hai Màn Hình: Cả hai màn hình phải được kết nối và thiết lập đúng cách trong Cài Đặt Hiển Thị của hệ thống cục bộ của bạn.

  • Cài Đặt Hiển Thị: Đảm bảo rằng cả hai màn hình được thiết lập ở chế độ “Mở rộng” trong cài đặt hiển thị của máy tính cục bộ của bạn. Để truy cập tùy chọn này, hãy vào Cài Đặt > Hệ thống > Hiển thị, sau đó trong phần Nhiều màn hình, hãy chọn Mở rộng các màn hình này.

  • Trình điều khiển Đồ họa: Việc cập nhật trình điều khiển đồ họa của máy tính cục bộ là rất quan trọng. Trình điều khiển cũ có thể gây ra các vấn đề với sự chuyển tiếp mượt mà giữa các màn hình trong một phiên từ xa.

Các Yếu Tố Mạng và Hiệu Suất

Một kết nối internet ổn định và tốc độ cao là điều cần thiết cho trải nghiệm Remote Desktop nhiều màn hình mượt mà. Băng thông kém hoặc sự không ổn định của mạng có thể dẫn đến việc màn hình bị treo hoặc lag giữa các màn hình.

  • Băng Thông Đề Xuất: Đối với các phiên Remote Desktop hai màn hình, tốc độ kết nối tối thiểu là 10 Mbps được khuyến nghị. Các màn hình với độ phân giải cao hơn có thể yêu cầu thêm băng thông.

  • Cấu Hình Remote Desktop cho Băng Thông Thấp: Trong cài đặt Remote Desktop Connection, hãy chuyển đến tab Trải nghiệm và chọn các tùy chọn tối ưu cho môi trường băng thông thấp, chẳng hạn như điều chỉnh các cài đặt hình ảnh như phối cảnh màn hình và làm mịn phông chữ.

Can You Play Fortnite on Mac? Yes — Here’s the Best Way to Play

Can you play Fortnite on Mac? It’s a question that’s sparked more debates than pineapple on pizza — and for good reason.

If you’re a Mac user with a competitive itch or just want to hop in for some Zero Build fun, you might’ve already discovered the bad news: Fortnite on Mac isn’t as plug-and-play as it used to be. But before you chuck your MacBook out the window in defeat, here’s the good news: there is a way. And it’s smoother than a Victory Royale dance.

Let’s walk you through why playing Fortnite on Mac got tricky — and how a sleek remote gaming tool called DeskIn flips the whole situation on its head.

Why Fortnite Isn’t Natively Available on Mac Anymore

Once upon a time, Fortnite for Mac was a thing. You could download it, launch it, and jump into the chaos like any other platform. Then came the legal thunderstorm.

The Epic vs. Apple Legal Battle: A Quick Recap

Back in 2020, Epic Games added a direct payment system inside Fortnite, bypassing Apple’s App Store fees. Apple wasn’t too happy about that. This led to Fortnite being booted from the App Store, and the two companies launched into a lawsuit that’s still echoing through the tech world.

Fallout for Mac Users

  • Apple removed Fortnite from the Mac App Store.

  • Epic stopped releasing updates for macOS versions of the game.

  • If you had Fortnite installed before the ban? You were stuck playing a dusty old version with no crossplay, no new features, and definitely no Chapter 5 action.

So, can you play Fortnite on a MacBook or an iMac like you would on Windows or consoles today? Not natively. But that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck.

3 Common Ways People Try to Play Fortnite on Mac

When people search for how to play Fortnite on Mac, they usually land on a few popular workarounds. Some are solid, others are a hassle, and a few are just dead ends. Let’s break down the three main methods Mac users turn to, and what you should know before jumping in.

1. Remote Access Tools (Most Recommended Method)

Here’s the underrated trick: run Fortnite on a Windows PC, and stream it to your Mac using a remote access tool. It’s like turning your Mac into a live window into your gaming rig.

Pros:

  • Play the full, up-to-date version of Fortnite

  • No emulators, no cloud queues, no dual-boot headaches

  • Works seamlessly on all Macs, including M1/M2 models

  • Totally free with the right tool (like DeskIn — more soon)

Cons:

  • You still need a phone/tablet with Fortnite installed.

  • Both devices should be on the same Wi-Fi for the best performance.

Bottom Line: This is hands-down the best solution for playing Fortnite on Mac, especially if your phone is already your primary gaming device. No hacks, no emulators, just smooth, responsive gameplay mirrored to a big screen.

 2. Cloud Gaming Platforms (like GeForce NOW)

Think of cloud gaming as borrowing a high-end gaming PC in the cloud. You’re not actually running Fortnite on Mac; you’re streaming it from a remote server.

Pros:

  • No need for expensive gaming hardware

  • Quick setup — log in, launch, and play

  • Works across devices, including Macs and browsers

Cons:

  • Demands a fast, stable internet connection (preferably Ethernet or 5GHz Wi-Fi)

  • Free plans have wait times and session limits

  • Paid plans can get pricey ($10–$20/month)

  • Lag and quality drops during busy hours

Bottom Line: Great for casual play, but competitive gamers will feel the lag. Long-term, the subscription fees can add up.

3. Windows Emulators or Boot Camp

Another route is running Windows on your Mac to access Fortnite for Mac via the PC version. This worked fine on older Intel Macs using Boot Camp. But in 2025, it’s trickier.

Pros:

  • Full access to the native Windows version of Fortnite

  • You get all updates and features

Cons:

  • Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3) don’t support Boot Camp

  • Emulators (like Parallels) aren’t built for gaming, and performance suffers

  • Requires buying and installing Windows

  • Graphics take a serious hit in virtual setups

Bottom Line: If you're still on an Intel Mac, this might work, but for most users today, it's not a practical way to play Fortnite on Mac.

playing iOS games on PC using screen mirroring setup

Play iOS Games on PC with Full-Screen, No Lag Setup

Ever been deep into a mobile game and thought, “This would be so much better on a bigger screen”? You’re not alone. iOS games today are packed with stunning visuals and fast-paced action, but small screens and touch controls can hold them back, like driving a race car in city traffic.

With the right setup, your favorite iPhone games don’t have to stay trapped on a small screen. You can play iOS games on PC with total input control, zero lag, and full-screen mode. No jailbreaking, no risky workarounds. Fluid gameplay in real-time is sent from your phone right to your desktop. Mobile gaming that is fully unleashed is here now.

Can You Really Play iOS Games on PC?

If you’re picturing yourself downloading an .ipa file (kind of like the iOS version of a .exe) and running it directly on your Windows machine—sorry, that’s not how it works. Apple’s ecosystem is famously locked down. Between App Store restrictions, hardware limitations, and the lack of native support for iOS on Windows, trying to run iPhone apps on a PC is like putting a vinyl record in a toaster. It’s just not built for that.

But don’t give up yet, there is a better way.

Instead of forcing apps to run where they don’t belong, the smart move is to mirror or emulate. Both let you access your favorite iPhone games on your computer, just in different ways.

Here’s the breakdown:

  • iOS emulators: iOS emulators are software that attempts to replicate the iPhone environment on a PC. While useful for developers, most of these emulators for iOS are slow, buggy, and not great for gaming. Many modern titles won’t even run, or crash instantly if they do.

  • Screen Mirroring Tools: The real game-changer here is screen mirroring with a remote control. These tools let you stream your iPhone screen to your PC in real-time, with full input support—a keyboard, mouse, or even a controller. You’re not running the game on your PC; you’re just playing it there. And with the right setup, it can feel almost identical to a native desktop experience.

So, when someone asks, “Can you play iOS games on PC?”, the answer is: absolutely. You just need the right tool, and we’re about to show you exactly what that looks like.

Best Methods to Play iOS Games on PC

When it comes to playing iOS games on PC, you’ve got two primary methods to consider: using high-performance screen mirroring like DeskIn, or trying your luck with traditional iOS emulators. One is built for smooth, real-time gameplay.

2. iOS Emulators – Limited, Laggy, and Largely for Developers

Let’s talk about iOS emulators, those apps and programs that claim to let you run iPhone apps on a PC. In theory, it sounds great. But in reality, not so much.

Here’s why emulators for iOS usually fall short for gaming:

  • No Official Support: Apple doesn’t allow full iOS emulation on non-Apple hardware. That means most emulators are working with unofficial and outdated tools that limit what you can do.

  • Built for Devs, Not Players: Emulators like Corellium or Xcode (which only works on Mac) are meant for testing apps, not playing them. They struggle with graphics, lack proper input support, and crash often with newer titles.

  • Most Windows Emulators Are Just Skins: Tools like iPadian don’t actually run iOS. They just mimic the look of it. You won’t be installing Genshin Impact or Clash Royale on those; they’re basically glorified web browsers with iOS-style UI.

  • Lag, Bugs, and Missing Features: Even if you manage to launch a game, expect major lag, low frame rates, and zero controller support. Not exactly ideal if you’re chasing a win.

Unless you're a developer testing an app or just poking around out of curiosity, iOS emulators aren’t a real solution for gaming. If you're serious about performance, screen mirroring is the clear winner.

Game Genres That Work Great in This Setup

Not every mobile game benefits from a big screen and full input control, but many do. With tools like DeskIn, some genres truly shine when you take them from handheld to desktop. Here’s what plays best when you’re using your desktop to enjoy iOS games on PC:

Action RPGs: Genshin Impact, Eternium 

Whether you're exploring open worlds in Genshin Impact or slashing through dungeons in Eternium, these games feel more alive on a bigger screen. With full input control, you can move faster, have better combat flow, and enjoy the visuals without being limited by a small display.

FPS games: COD Mobile, PUBG

COD Mobile and PUBG demand precision, and that’s where mouse and keyboard control come in. A bigger screen means better visibility of enemies, and faster inputs mean you can react in real time, especially during those last-circle showdowns.

Sim/Strategy: Clash of Clans, Mobile Legends

From building your village in Clash of Clans to jumping into a quick match in Mobile Legends, these games depend on quick decisions and multitasking. Here, using a mouse just makes it easier; you can move faster, react quicker, and stay on top of everything happening on the screen without feeling overwhelmed.

Rhythm or Arcade games: Cytus, Geometry Dash

Timing is everything in games like Cytus or Geometry Dash. Full-screen display helps you track patterns better, and input mapping allows you to hit notes or dodge obstacles with pinpoint precision, with no more finger slips.

If you’re already enjoying iOS games on a bigger screen, why not take it further? Learn how to set up dual monitors for gaming and level up your multitasking or immersive play even more.

Pro Tips for Lag-Free, Full-Screen Gameplay

playing iOS games on PC with full-screen setup and low-latency controls

Getting started is simple, but if you want your iOS games on PC to run silky-smooth, look crisp in full screen, and stay totally lag-free, a few easy tweaks can seriously level up your experience:

  • Stick to 5GHz Wi-Fi or Use USB-C: For wireless play, connect your PC and your iPhone to 5GHz. It is even more stable, much faster, and keeps input delay to a minimum. For the most consistent experience, a USB-C connection delivers nearly zero lag and top-tier responsiveness.

  • Close Unused Apps on Your iPhone: Background apps such as YouTube or Instagram quietly eat up your memory. Therefore, make sure to close apps on your iPhone if unused. Clear them out before launching your game for a clean and smooth run.

  • Fine-tune Your PC Display Settings: Enable a high refresh rate on your monitor if available, and try matching your PC’s resolution with your iPhone’s output. It helps keep the image sharp and everything in sync.

  • Level Up with a Controller or Keyboard Mapping: Touchscreens also work, but if you want that extra edge, especially in shooters or rhythm games, connect a controller or map keys to your keyboard. DeskIn supports both, and it makes your gameplay feel way more natural.

Want more control over how you play? Check out how to use customized hotkeys and gaming keyboards to play PC games on your phone—it works both ways.

A few small setup tweaks now can mean hours of silky-smooth, full-screen gaming later. It’s mobile gaming—but elevated.

 Fortnite mobile mirrored to iMac screen.

Can You Play Fortnite on Mac? Yes — Here’s the Best Way to Play

Can you play Fortnite on Mac? It’s a question that’s sparked more debates than pineapple on pizza — and for good reason.

If you’re a Mac user with a competitive itch or just want to hop in for some Zero Build fun, you might’ve already discovered the bad news: Fortnite on Mac isn’t as plug-and-play as it used to be. But before you chuck your MacBook out the window in defeat, here’s the good news: there is a way. And it’s smoother than a Victory Royale dance.

Let’s walk you through why playing Fortnite on Mac got tricky — and how a sleek remote gaming tool called DeskIn flips the whole situation on its head.

Why Fortnite Isn’t Natively Available on Mac Anymore

Once upon a time, Fortnite for Mac was a thing. You could download it, launch it, and jump into the chaos like any other platform. Then came the legal thunderstorm.

The Epic vs. Apple Legal Battle: A Quick Recap

Back in 2020, Epic Games added a direct payment system inside Fortnite, bypassing Apple’s App Store fees. Apple wasn’t too happy about that. This led to Fortnite being booted from the App Store, and the two companies launched into a lawsuit that’s still echoing through the tech world.

Fallout for Mac Users

  • Apple removed Fortnite from the Mac App Store.

  • Epic stopped releasing updates for macOS versions of the game.

  • If you had Fortnite installed before the ban? You were stuck playing a dusty old version with no crossplay, no new features, and definitely no Chapter 5 action.

So, can you play Fortnite on a MacBook or an iMac like you would on Windows or consoles today? Not natively. But that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck.

3 Common Ways People Try to Play Fortnite on Mac

When people search for how to play Fortnite on Mac, they usually land on a few popular workarounds. Some are solid, others are a hassle, and a few are just dead ends. Let’s break down the three main methods Mac users turn to, and what you should know before jumping in.

1. Remote Access Tools (Most Recommended Method)

Here’s the underrated trick: run Fortnite on a Windows PC, and stream it to your Mac using a remote access tool. It’s like turning your Mac into a live window into your gaming rig.

Pros:

  • Play the full, up-to-date version of Fortnite

  • No emulators, no cloud queues, no dual-boot headaches

  • Works seamlessly on all Macs, including M1/M2 models

  • Totally free with the right tool (like DeskIn — more soon)

Cons:

  • You still need a phone/tablet with Fortnite installed.

  • Both devices should be on the same Wi-Fi for the best performance.

Bottom Line: This is hands-down the best solution for playing Fortnite on Mac, especially if your phone is already your primary gaming device. No hacks, no emulators, just smooth, responsive gameplay mirrored to a big screen.

 2. Cloud Gaming Platforms (like GeForce NOW)

Think of cloud gaming as borrowing a high-end gaming PC in the cloud. You’re not actually running Fortnite on Mac; you’re streaming it from a remote server.

Pros:

  • No need for expensive gaming hardware

  • Quick setup — log in, launch, and play

  • Works across devices, including Macs and browsers

Cons:

  • Demands a fast, stable internet connection (preferably Ethernet or 5GHz Wi-Fi)

  • Free plans have wait times and session limits

  • Paid plans can get pricey ($10–$20/month)

  • Lag and quality drops during busy hours

Bottom Line: Great for casual play, but competitive gamers will feel the lag. Long-term, the subscription fees can add up.

3. Windows Emulators or Boot Camp

Another route is running Windows on your Mac to access Fortnite for Mac via the PC version. This worked fine on older Intel Macs using Boot Camp. But in 2025, it’s trickier.

Pros:

  • Full access to the native Windows version of Fortnite

  • You get all updates and features

Cons:

  • Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3) don’t support Boot Camp

  • Emulators (like Parallels) aren’t built for gaming, and performance suffers

  • Requires buying and installing Windows

  • Graphics take a serious hit in virtual setups

Bottom Line: If you're still on an Intel Mac, this might work, but for most users today, it's not a practical way to play Fortnite on Mac.

Is This Safe and Legal?

  • DeskIn does not violate Fortnite’s or Apple’s terms

  • No game file modifications

  • Simply streaming your own device to another, just like using a monitor

Yes, using DeskIn to play Fortnite on Mac by mirroring your mobile device is completely safe, legal, and within the terms of service of both Epic Games and Apple.

No Rule-Breaking or Bans

DeskIn does not modify game files, bypass app store restrictions, or interfere with Fortnite’s code in any way. You’re playing the official Fortnite mobile app on your phone, the same way you always would, and simply mirroring your own screen to another display. 

Apple-Friendly

Unlike emulators or sideloaded apps, DeskIn doesn’t require jailbreaking or altering iOS settings. All screen-sharing and control permissions are granted directly through Apple’s built-in accessibility and remote access APIs, keeping everything 100% compliant.

Complies with Epic Games Policy

Epic’s main concerns are with cheating, modding, or using third-party software to gain unfair advantages. DeskIn does none of that. It acts as a visual bridge between your devices, not a gameplay modifier, and it doesn’t fake platform access. You’re still playing on a mobile platform, just with a larger screen and optional controller support.

Your Devices, Your Network

All connections are initiated by you and stay private. Your screen data doesn’t pass through any third-party cloud servers — it’s a direct, encrypted peer-to-peer stream between your mobile device and your Mac over Wi-Fi.

Playing Fortnite on Mac Is Totally Possible With DeskIn

Can you play Fortnite on Mac like you can on a Windows PC or console? Not exactly. But with a powerful tool like DeskIn, you don’t have to miss out.

Instead of waiting on Epic and Apple to play nice again, you take control. You run Fortnite on your phone and stream it to your Mac with near-zero lag, no subscription fees, and full performance.

Whether you’re after your first Victory Royale or your hundredth crown win, playing Fortnite on Mac has never felt this seamless.
