In the Frontier Store, https://www.frontierstore.net/games/elite-dangerous-cat.html, I can see Elite for Mac, but no other version for Mac. There's Elite Dangerous and Elite Dangerous Deluxe, but none of those list Mac as supported.
How do I get Elite Dangerous for Mac?
Best Answer
Elite Dangerous is Mac supported, however some other titles such as Elite Dangerous: Horizons / Arena are not. The Elite Dangerous Deluxe package available from the Frontier website includes Horizons, and so is not Mac supported.
The official Frontier site states that this is because the necessary shaders / OpenGL support are not available yet on the Mac.

Sadly, neither the OS X OpenGL nor Apple's Metal API support the required compute shaders and the other possibilities that we have explored simply don’t allow us the performance that Elite Dangerous: Horizons requires.
