Sure ! Go to system preferences , then Display. Hold down the “ Option” key on your keyboard. You should see “scaled for screen”. Give that a try. You would also have to go into the game’s video/display settings and choose ‘windowed mode”.. depending on the size of your MacBook’s built in screen and video capabilities. Don’t know what model & year of Macbook you have so can ony give general suggestions
