Thanks to a deal with TransGaming Inc., CCP games has announced that it will be bringing EVE Online to Mac and Linux platforms later this year. The game joins a growing list of titles available for the Mac platform.

"EVE Online has always ranked highly with our Linux users and there is significant demand for it among other platforms, including the rapidly growing Mac base," said Vikas Gupta, CEO of TransGaming Technologies.

"As EVE takes place within a single-server persistent universe, it's vital that the game is identical in every way across different platforms. This challenge is what makes the partnership with CCP both important and rewarding."

The game is already playable on Linux through the use of TransGaming's Cedega Windows compatibility layer. The new Linux version will have Cedega directly integrated into the game, while EVE Online's Mac version will utilize TransGaming's Cider portability engine.
