Wizard101 and Pirate101 are now compatible with macOS Catalina


macOS Wizards and Pirates,
We are happy to announce that both Wizard101 and Pirate101 are now compatible with macOS Catalina’s 64-bit platform! You can install Catalina at any time and should have normal access again to the games.
Thanks to our macOS players for their extended patience while we worked with our partners to ensure this compatibility.
If you have any questions or concerns about your game access, please contact KingsIsle Customer Support.
Thanks,
KingsIsle MMO Team
About time you made it 64-bit. My Windows 10 has been 64-bit since it was Windows 7
The Windows version of the game always had 32 and 64 bit support, it’s just MacOS X was 32 bit for the longest time.
Agree
Bring the game to linux as well please
Yes! adding this game to linux would truly be amazing kingisle!!!
Does this only concern Mac books or all computers.
All apple computers
plz plz plz plz plz make it possible to send crowns in this game and bring some new death spells to
plz make new death spells in this game plz
This shouldn’t have been a surprise. Did Apple do this without any warning? Usually apple is friendlier with its developers than to drop a change like this on them without any notice. I certainly hope it doesn’t take you too long to make the upgrade.
please use the best os windows
Dont bring it to linux to many hackers trying to destroy the game.
Please make it soon.
How much longer pwz?
It may be some time yet, we are waiting for our software partners to update to 64-bit.
the thing is, wizard101 is a game for anyone, it does not need the extra processing power for 64 bits, and some people play that still use a 32 bit operating system, as you can have windows 10 64, some could have windows 7 32 bit
With the 32-bit insecurities showing more and more, and getting more expensive to make nowadays, it makes sense to move to 64 bit, this also allows better graphics and more complex scenes. If you want to see the difference between 32bit and 64bit, go take a look at Second Life on the last 32bit processor, and a 64bit processor more current (Core 2 Duo E6600 for example, to match for 2007.
Thank You!!
If we stay on what we are on, will we still be able to play?
yee
any update on when this will be done?
We are having to wait for other external software to support 64-bit. Many game companies are in this same situation.
Yes more Death spells sounds nice, since they took anyway the most important thing that makes death untouchable (bad juju). I wanna see Duncan SoulBreakers storyline he’s always on top of the game yet never heard him and his house are Extremely interesting. i alwasy know he’s A GREEK MYTHOLOGIE HEAD! But behind all the madness he’s a nice fella.
instead of waiting for other 32 bit players to update to 64 bit, why dont you just make 2 different download versions of the game. the 32 bit version and 64 bit version. so it could save time?
i just hope it doesnt take too long
Has the game been updated to 64-bit for MacOS yet? I checked the Ravenwood News for the warning message and I see that its no longer up. If it is up to 64-bit it would be nice for you to put another message on the Ravenwood News saying that its been updated.
No, not yet. It may be a few weeks yet.
not trying to be rude, just helpful… 1-off Windows is hardly the best OS, and i say this as a windows 10 user. 2-this post is about the issues with Mac users and their ability to play the game, all other issues and requests would be more appropriate if addressed to Wizard101/KI directly. 3-Thank you KI for your hard work and dedicated team of developers. This game is absolutely amazing, and I know your whole team is working hard to get it back online for updated Mac users.
When will it be released? Any date? I dd not see this post unfortunately before downloading Catalina. I hope to play again soon.
Hi Austin! We don’t have a date yet from our partners. As soon as that occurs, we’ll be sure to blast it out on all our channels. Thanks for your patience during this time!
It won’t take months will it? Just weeks?
yep, months.. its march 2020 and still no update, still cant pay and play. from a business standpoint, you have to subscribe, to play. there’s SO many macOS users out there which means they’re losing all that money from people who could be paying to play. instead those people are just waiting around for this update that i really hope comes before the next version of macOS is released again… in october…
im only so salty because i played this game for years. when it first came out to when i left for college 7 years later. so its nostalgic for me and i miss it. and it being 2020 and no solution yet for a simple conflict of a “bit-change”, please, for the long time users, please!
I hope the update will come soon
any update on when the 64-bit version will be released for macOS Catalina users??
Our apologies about the continued delay! We are working with our partners to get macOS Catalina support implemented as soon as possible. This month has seen some great progress behind the scenes, so we hope to have another update for you soon.
Pleaseeeeee hurry up !!! I hope to be able to play by February !!!
Is there a date to when we could expect the update? Even a month would be nice to know. Thank you in advance.
Our apologies, we don’t have a date from our software partners yet. Progress is being made quickly now though, so we expect to be able to provide you with an update finally soon.
Yes I cannot say the eta date of the project to allow windows apps to run on macOS Catalina. However, I’m part of the team from the company that is testing the software. They are very close of a release. There is a few details that needs addressed to make Kingsisle software to run smoothly.

How much longer I really wanna play wizard101
You may have to roll back to Mojave to play W101.
I’m a returning player from 10 years ago. I just bought my first iMac and remembered
Wizard101 and wanted download it but got the error and ever since then I’ve been checking for an update everyday. So excited to start playing again!!
I’ve spent a large sum of money on here and I plan to do more but I CANT PLAY IT RN… please UPDATTTTEEEE
Can we please have another update soon?
Our apologies for taking so long to implement a resolution. Our software partner tells us they are close to wrapping up compatibility, so we hope to have a good-news update for you soon.
Can this update also include some new content…?
Please?
I feel like it’s almost pointless to play when I have finished the storyline, and this game gets way less attention than Wizard101 does. It’s kind of depressing, and it feels like this game has been abandoned.
soon? I had to update to Catalina due to work issues, so I had to cancel my wizard subscription. I am crushed not having been able to play for so many months now
Thank god !!
