Outward Definitive Edition instal the last version for mac

The digital-only approach was solidified with OS X Mavericks (version 10.9) in October 2013, establishing the ‌Mac App Store‌ as the sole avenue for obtaining new macOS versions. Mountain Lion was the last macOS version not initially offered for free. OS X Mountain Lion, which debuted in July 2012, continued this trend. This was particularly true for those still running OS X Leopard, as they were unable to upgrade to Lion without first obtaining Snow Leopard or purchasing the Lion installer thumb drive. Lion introduced features such as multi-touch gestures, Mission Control, and full-screen apps, but it also posed a challenge for users without access to the ‌Mac App Store‌. Mountain Lion, on the other hand, was distributed exclusively as a downloadable product, delivered via an emailed redemption code.Īpple's shift from physical to digital distribution became clear upon the release of OS X Lion in July 2011, marking the company's transition to online-only releases.

The original release of OS X Lion was available either as a digital download from the Mac App Store or via a USB thumb drive preloaded with the installer. The change was spotted by on X, formerly Twitter. Apple has officially ceased the sale of OS X Lion 10.7 and Mountain Lion 10.8 from its online store.
