It took five years after the release of the game on PCs and consoles, but Cyberpunk 2077 is finally available for the Mac, as of today.
Apple teased the game during its October reveal of the M4 MacBook Pro. At the time, Apple said that Cyberpunk 2077 is “one of the most graphically demanding and complex games ever created.”
With the release of the Mac version, CD Projekt Red has included what it calls “For this Mac” presets that dynamically adjust the game’s settings to deliver “an optimal balance between visual quality and performance.” Basically, the more powerful the Mac, the higher the visual quality.
Cyberpunk 2077 requires at least an M1 series Mac with at least 16GB of RAM, running macOS 15.5 Sequoia or later. Storage requirements are 92 GB of storage when downloaded from GOG, Epic Games Store, or Steam, and 159 GB of storage when downloaded from the App Store. The game’s resolution is determined by the age of the Mac’s processor. For example, M1 Macs will play the game at 1440 by 900 or 1600 by 900 resolution at 30 fps, while an M3 Ultra Mac runs Cyberpunk 2077 at 2294 by 1432 or 2560 by 1440 resolution at 60 fps.
The dynamic presets do not activate Ray Tracing, which is only available on M3 and M4 Macs, as users of those Macs will need to manually enable ray tracing manually in the graphics settings.
Cyberpunk 2077 joins other AAA titles – like Resident Evil 4, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage – which were already available on the Mac.
