    If you have the space, you could try Bootcamp and install Windows.

    use search and you'll get your answer.

    Macs arent generally very powerful, are owned by a puny minority and generally determined to be not worth developer time. Its not happening.

    I ran Beam.NG Drive on a 2012 Mac Mini on high graphics with little problems. I used crossover and it worked flawlessly.

    I believe the OP was asking for a version of Beam that worked on OSX only, no crossover or similar software. Crossover isn't running Beam on OSX, it's running Beam on a windows emulator on OSX. And this is a way to play Beam on OSX, but I highly doubt an apple product, especially a Mini version from 4 years ago, would run Beam at a playable frame rate (and even if it ran it okay, a PC in the same price range would likely run it better).

    Hey, thanks for calling me a liar! I don't remember asking if you had any doubts about what I was able to do on an absolutely disgusting Apple product of the mini variant, but hey, thanks for expressing them. It might have been 2014 but my brother has the computer now so if you could take your bolded words and smart ass attitude elsewhere that'd be grand thanks. It may have made the cores dangerously hot and the computer might have been in turbo boost for the amount of time I played Beam.NG but it's been done and I got 30-40 frames on a 1400x900 monitor. I offered a solution to OP's question instead of telling him, like the thousands of other unhelpful users on this forum, that the devs could not be bothered to work with Macs because they're just so incapable of everything! (Cue whining about why Apple sucks) Kindly back off and bring a more helpful and informative attitude to the forum.

    okay, i did not mean to come off so abrasive. The poster was asking about an OSX version, and using crossover is like asking if a pc version of a gamecube game is being made and being told that you can play it on a gamecube emulator, it's just not really the same. You said a 2012 mini mac in your first post, but it seems as if you meant 2014, and 2 years means a lot for consumer computer tech. And i admit, i shouldn't have brought the PC Vs. Mac into my comment, and i'm sorry about that.

    Crossover isnt an emulator. Its a compatibility layer, simply intercepts win32 api calls for UNIX equivalents.
    wow salty much.
