Cyberpunk 2077 is finally releasing on the Mac platform on July 17, 2025. Users will be able to purchase the game from the Mac App Store, Steam, Epic Games, and other storefronts. The system requirements for CD Projekt Red's title are now out for Mac, and it looks well-optimized, especially considering its choppy release back in 2020.

The game's Ultimate Edition features both the base game along with the Phantom Liberty expansion pack. Macs were never really made for gaming, but newer chip models possess serious power for high-end gaming.

On that note, here are the game's system requirements on Mac.

Cyberpunk 2077 would be a treat to play with HDR on Apple's XDR displays. However, having the right hardware will make a largely positive difference in gameplay, despite it being such a demanding title.

All of the following system requirements use the same "For This Mac" preset, which automatically optimizes the visual quality and performance to match your system. This makes it easy to get to playing without tweaking many settings.

Ray tracing is turned off in all of the settings below. However, if you do want to use it, CD Projekt Red recommends having at least the Apple M3 chipset.

While Cyberpunk 2077 is fairly demanding, it works well on most modern Mac systems. We're yet to see full-fledged gameplay videos on each chipset to completely judge its optimization, but it appears promising based on the system requirements.
