This has already been made in the PC Emulator guide, but I'm going to post everything that is certain here to make sure things run correctly. I am open to feedback from others if yalls devices work better (everyone has different specs).

Step 1: Search up Playcover on any available brower and download, don't worry its free and does not have any virus's.

Step 2: On decrypt.day search up Destiny Rising and press the title that looks like "Destiny: Rising, NETEASE INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT PTE. LTD - Image is posted for those who need to see it.

Step 3: Click "Download for Free" Should be marked in blue. After that, a Popup should come up, click the download #2, Dont press the premier link. and if you have an adblocker enabled, make sure to disable it or you will not be given access to the download link. It will pop you to another tab with the IPA link. Hit the download link button and it will begin to download the IPA into your computer

Step 4: After the download is complete, head on over to playcover and select Import IPA, and the one that says com.netease will be the IPA link. It will begin to import the IPA on playcover and afterwards, your play cover should have a Destiny Rising Logo in it.

BEFORE YOU PLAY THE GAME DO THIS

Right click and go into settings
In some of the images provided, you will see the EXACT settings that were given by @round wraith to ensure the best gameplay (current). This also ensues the game works with a controller.
There is also a photo that is provided for If you want to change your graphics to run smooth, also thanks to @round wraith

For a video guide, look up a youtuber named relyt, where he will have a set up tutorial and a keymap you can download, also for free and doesn't have virus's, and you can configure your macbook keyboard with the game.

I believe this is it for now. If you have any other issues, feel free to ping me and I will do my best to help you.

#

Sorry for the wonky setup for the pictures, its just the way its formatted, but all the photos are in order

#

#videos-and-streams message for the video from Relyt on the visual set up guide and for the keymap. The keymap is in his bio. You will have to create an account, but it is free and no charge

Q about performance, would mb pro M3 be able to run this at 120fps? On max?

round wraith Oct 1, 2025, 11:02 PM

#

It should, but the game thinks it’s in an iPad. So it won’t run on M4 Max settings. If you try 4K, it’ll just turn the game into a black screen, but you’ll still be able to hear everything. M4 Max is great when it’s used directly, but that’s not the case here. As for fps, I don’t think D:R can display at 120 on an emulator. Of course, I could be wrong, so test it out :) I hope it works for ya.

any1 can play mnk properly?

crystal cairn Oct 2, 2025, 4:38 AM

#

If you are using MNK, make sure to have keymapping on

#

I am currently working on trouble shooting mnk

#

the current keymapping is glitching out, I don't know why its doing this

#

So atm keymapping is bugged, until I can find a better keymapping for mac, you willl have yo use a contrtoller

What about game updates to the IPA and is it possible that net ease could ban an account for using it?

no they wont because they are the ones promoting people to use an emulator

#

and the game should update automatically

hollow onyx Oct 2, 2025, 4:48 PM

#

I would agree that they are promoting the use of emulators however they specifically promote android emulators. You acquire the game through the official play store.

I would assume the game eula prohibits you from acquiring the game from an unofficial source. So while the emulator might not be against policy the file you need to play it might be just like with any other emulator and ROM file.

Just a concern I wouldn’t want my account banned. these guys aren’t Nintendo, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be looking to do this.

crystal cairn Oct 2, 2025, 7:27 PM

#

It’s been a month since release. If they would have banned. I would be banned by now

if I am being honest though, you may want to contact a mod about this to ask. I am just a player giving a simple guide to how to set up the game on mac book

I’d doubt it, mate. I literally had a mod pin my guide to use PlayCover on a MacBook Pro. So, I’m pretty sure it’s all good.

120fps is super smooth

can anyone say if this fixes the regular crashes when loading into activities? i'm downloading the ipa right now but i'd love to know ahead of time.

Yeah, if you follow the directions that @crystal cairn made at the top of this channel, which is great. I have a longer guide that works for me. If you want, you can check out it out here: #1410262419309334598 message

has anyone tried mouse and keyboard on tablet?

spice knot Oct 24, 2025, 10:31 PM

#

Has anyone actually gotten this to work??? Mine was running ok initially, but now crashes every time I load into chaos or GM’s.

I was really enjoying the 120fps on the M3 pro but bk to the iPad.

Way to risky to have it crash in calamity or mid game.

It should. Silicon or arm?

elder coyote It should. Silicon or arm?

Intel I think?

round wraith Nov 6, 2025, 3:21 AM

The pinned message may help. I haven’t been in this server for a hot minute. I think that Intel Macs aren’t able to play.

Did you get it to work, since this? I haven’t updated the pinned comment in a while. Some adjustments may be necessary.

for intel macs, i think u can bootcamp it. much better

@rare ember @azure meteor got it solved. Just a matter of downloading the latest ipa ver 1.0.8

elder coyote for intel macs, i think u can bootcamp it. much better

If that works for you, then heck yeah! I haven’t tried that method since early release, to be fair.
