Sep 23, 2017 186. Has anyone managed to successfully stream XBOX ONE to Mac? I have a Remote Play app for PS4 which works amazing, It looks like the XBOX equivalent is only available on Windows. I can see two alternatives. Install Windows in Bootcamp and run it from Windows on that. M1 MacBooks can run iOS apps natively, so you can download the Xbox app and stream from your console to the app. Whilst OneCast may no longer be developed it is a good alternative which should still work on your M1 MacBook 1.
Install [PS Remote Play] on your Mac computer, and then connect to your PS4 console.

How to connect your wireless Xbox One controller to a Mac
For those of you that own wireless Xbox One controllers, connecting to a Mac isn’t as straight forward as simply plugging the device in. First off, you’ll want to purchase a capable receiver, then running the proper setup wizard.
Plugging in wireless receiver: First, you need to purchase a Xbox One wireless gaming receiver. After you have purchased the wireless receiver, plug it in to a compatible USB port on your computer. Once plugged in, a green light will appear on the receiver indicating the device is working properly.
Installing software: In order for the wireless gaming receiver and the wireless Xbox One controller to properly sync with one another, users must download the necessary software. Go to TattieBogle, and download the driver for OS X there. This driver will let your Mac talk to the Xbox One controller, and vice versa. Once downloaded, mount the disk image with a double click on the .dmg file and then double click on the .pkg file that’s on it. Follow the prompts, just like any other OS X installer, to install the driver software.
Syncing the wireless controller: After the software is installed, first turn on the controller by holding down the Xbox Guide button in the center of the controller and wait for the green backlight to turn on. Afterward, press the connect button on top of the wireless receiver until it begins flashing green, then press the connect button on top of the Xbox One controller. If the devices do not properly sync with one another however, you can always reference Xbox’s support website.
