Moving to Mac, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition gave some exemplary conspiracies about the system requirements. CD Projekt Red have given info on the specs. Little saying, whatever your MacBook Air is, this one definitely passed: only if you’ve got the best chrome glued onto it.
Thus, according to the official Courier tweet from CyberpunkGame, the requirements to journey into Night City include an M-series chip and a minimum of 16GB unified RAM. So, any M1, M2, M3, or symphonious M4 Pro will do, provided it complies with its name in having an adequate amount of memory. The replies? Absolute chaos. Some players are hitting the high, some are devastated, and even a few are begging for iPad support (which ain’t gonna happen).
One lucky guy named Maniac showed off his upgrade: from M1 to M4 Pro Mini, while Some (yes, that is really their display name) cried saying his 8GB MacBook Air got left behind. Pranav Dupati proceeded with dropping the fierce truth about iPads and basically killed everyone’s hopes with, “it doesn’t have enough RAM.” Ouch.
The real drama while considering the Cyberpunk specs, though, is on whether 8GB on Mac somehow stands for 16GB on Windows. One-liner Pit wondered, “But I thought 8GB on Mac were analogous to 16GB on Windows?” Spoiler alert: Not for Cyberpunk. CDPR ain’t playing around with those requirements.
Now, the wildcards are personified by Elias, who just really, really, really wants to get this on his iPad (sorry, dude), and Jimmy B, who wonders if the M4 iPad Pro will get any love. The answer? It won’t. Even Fadhel, who argues an iPad Pro technically could run it, admits it is a no-go because Apple is too stingy in their RAM allocation.
Oh, and let’s not forget the PS5 Pro beggars from several replies screaming for a next-gen patch, with XTransHaterX caps-locking: “PS5 PRO PATCHHHHHHHHH I NEED IT”. Chill, choom.
The funniest requests: the Fortnite crossover. CyberpunkFN outright demanded the skins to become available in Fortnite again, while IittzzPeggers wanted Lucy, David, and Rebecca to hit the Item Shop. Priorities, people.
Anyway, so the verdict? If you have a Mac with an M-series chip and 16GB RAM, game on! If not, upgrade soon, or just stay on console or PC. Regarding the hopefuls from iPad-land – keep dreaming for now, maybe in another life.
One thing we can definitely conclude: Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition on Mac will be a massive hit, with reactions proving that gamers are either all-in or completely out. No conscience.
Now, who’s ready to see how well Snapdragon M4 Pro handles 1440p? Some1sTech is already varying preparations for it; let’s hope it doesn’t melt while in use.
And meanwhile, for all of you who’re still asking about third-person mode – nope, no third-person mode from CDPR has been announced. Baris Kayatekin, we heard you; it ain’t happening.
The takeaway? So, gaming on Mac is gonna get a lot more interesting. But it still ain’t for the faint of heart or people running on lightly-specced machines.
