Get Ready, Mac Gamers!
The wait is almost over! Cyberpunk 2077 is officially making its long-anticipated debut on macOS, arriving this Thursday, July 17th. Originally slated for a 2025 release, this iconic game will be available on Apple’s Mac App Store, Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.com.
Optimized for the Latest Apple Silicon!
CD Projekt Red has meticulously optimized Cyberpunk 2077 to run smoothly on a range of Mac hardware, from the early M1 models right up to the cutting-edge M4 chip family. However, keep in mind that only Macs equipped with 16GB or more of unified memory will be able to experience this thrilling title—so owners of base 8GB M1 and M2 devices will be left out.
Stunning Graphics and Features!
Players can expect tailored graphics presets designed for every Apple silicon model. Those with powerful M-series chips will be treated to jaw-dropping features like path tracing—a cinematic ray-tracing mode that elevates the game’s lighting and shadows to a whole new level. Additionally, AMD's FSR upscaling and frame generation will ensure that your gaming experience is not only stunning but buttery smooth!
Enhanced Gameplay Experience!
In an exciting twist, Cyberpunk 2077 for Mac will also incorporate MetalFX upscaling and provide seamless support for Apple’s Magic Mouse and Trackpad. Whether you're glancing at the vibrant world through an Apple XDR display or another HDR monitor, HDR support will enhance your visual experience—complete with immersive spatial audio and head-tracking capabilities for Apple AirPods.
A New Era for Mac Players!
While Mac owners have managed to play Cyberpunk 2077 through a previous porting tool for some time now, this official launch means the game will fully leverage Apple’s native Metal graphics APIs. This includes their innovative Tile-Based Deferred Rendering (TBDR) architecture, ensuring phenomenal performance.
Timed with Exciting New Content!
As if the Mac launch weren’t thrilling enough, CD Projekt Red is also rolling out the latest 2.3 patch, which introduces an array of new cars and enhances the photo mode. Plus, players can look forward to cross-progression across all platforms, along with access to the jaw-dropping Phantom Liberty expansion and all major updates released thus far.
Mark Your Calendars!
With so much to look forward to, mark your calendars for July 17th! Cyberpunk 2077 promises to be a game-changing experience for Mac users, so gear up to dive into the neon-lit streets of Night City!
