Installing Mojave on a separate volume

I have a MacBook Air, early 2020, running Catalina (10.15.7). What I'd like to do is to install Mojave on a separate volume on my SSD so that I can run some 32-bit games that are incompatible with Catalina and Big Sur and are unlikely to be updated. I believe, reading some other posts, that I can install Mojave from a bootable USB flash drive. However, when I try to download the Mojave installer from the Mac App Store, I get a popup telling me that this version of macOS is not available.


Is there a way to download the Mojave installer so that I can set up a USB flash drive as a bootable drive with which I can install Mojave on a separate volume? Thanks!

It is odd, but for me, when I go to to the bootable USB page --> https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201372 and click on the download link for the appropriate version (in your case macOS Mojave) using the App Store link after going through that series works for me. Get macOS Mojave.


It took me to this screen, https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/macos-mojave/id1398502828?mt=12, which opened the download.


TL;DR

Bootable USB Page > "Get Download Link" > "App Store Link" > Wait for it to load
