Based on feedback from players who got early access, the game is well-optimized and runs smoothly on older Mac devices as well. Gucciipad from Reddit had this to say:

"Runs well on my m1 MacBook Air. Didn’t need to change the settings."

Given that you can play Frostpunk 2 on MacBook Air (M1), which was first released in 2020, it's safe to say newer models will support the game on higher settings. Furthermore, based on feedback from numerous players, the game seems to run well on higher resolutions on certain devices, but there are a few exceptions. This is what user Zestyclose-Ad2699 had to say:

"M3Max didn't run as I expected, and I ran it on a local machine, on about round 200, my game crashed when clicking the name of a research, thus losing about 100 weeks of progress. Audio crashes from chapter 4, wish they could fix that ASAP."

Unfortunately, it would seem that those running the game on Mac devices that use the M1 Max and M3 Max Chips are experiencing crashes. However, keep in mind that since the feedback is based on the advanced access experience of Frostpunk 2, a patch is likely to be pushed out soon.
