Can Your Mac Run Cyberpunk 2077? Check the Official Requirements

Cyberpunk 2077 is officially launching on macOS on July 17, and developer CD Projekt Red has revealed detailed system requirements for Mac users.

The popular open-world RPG, previously available only on consoles and Windows, will now be playable on Apple Silicon Macs with various levels of performance depending on the model.

Minimum Requirements: M1 Macs Can Run It

The game is optimized for a range of Apple Silicon devices, starting from the M1 series. Users with an M1 chip and at least 16GB of unified memory can run the game at 1440 x 900 or 1600 x 900 resolution, using MetalFX dynamic resolution scaling. The target performance is 30 frames per second (fps).

For 60fps Gameplay: M3 Pro or Higher Recommended

For smoother gameplay at 60fps, CD Projekt Red recommends at least an M3 Pro chip with 18GB of unified memory. This configuration will run the game at 1080p resolution using MetalFX scaling. Players with older Apple Silicon hardware may also reach 60fps by lowering the resolution below 1080p.

High and Very High Fidelity Settings

For players seeking the highest graphical quality, more powerful Apple chips are required:

• High Fidelity:
  • M2 Ultra or M3 Max
  • 36GB unified memory
  • 60fps at 1440p with MetalFX DRS
• Very High Fidelity:
  • M3 Ultra or M4 Max
  • 36GB unified memory
  • 60fps at 1440p with MetalFX DRS

Ray Tracing Support

Ray tracing is not enabled by default on any Mac preset. However, it is possible to turn it on if your device supports it:

• Medium Ray Tracing at 30fps:
  • M3 Pro chip
  • 18GB unified memory
  • 1080p with MetalFX DRS
• Medium Ray Tracing at 60fps:
  • M3 Max or higher
  • 36GB unified memory
  • 1080p with MetalFX DRS

Cross-Platform and Upscaling Options

Cyberpunk 2077 on Mac will also support AMD’s FSR upscaling and frame generation, giving players more flexibility to optimize their gameplay experience.

The game will be available from the Mac App Store, Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.com. It also includes cross-progression support, allowing players to continue their saved games across platforms.
