TL;DR: System requirements are ranging from M1 to M1 Pro or better Apple silicon chips. The game is priced at $60 on Steam.
I picked it up on ps5 before I knew it was coming to Mac. Anyone played yet? How does it play on macOS?
It plays fine. I’ve been enjoying it for about 40 of the last 48 hours….
Graphics could be better on my original M1 Macbook Pro, could also be worse.
Maybe I will grab it from gog, do a good run through on the ps5 and an evil on the MacBook.
I can’t speak for M1 generation or non-pro M2, but it runs amazing on the base M2 Pro. Before the macOS release I logged over 160hrs with CrossOver; my biggest issue being Lower City in Act 3 being a slideshow.
Now with the official release, its running well with nearly maxed settings (2x vsync and disabled DOF) @ 1440p. Also doesn’t really spin up the fans all that much, definitely handles better than say Cities Skylines or late-game Civ 6.
It doesn’t spin the fan ? I guess you have a 16” model then.
I got a 14” M2 Max (30 GPU cores) and the fans are definitely spinning.
While the game runs really smoothly (I got an almost constant 60 FPS all maxed out at native resolution) I have yet to find the settings to get the fans quiet (around 3000 RPM would be good enough I guess)
EDIT: I managed to lower the fans spin by using those settings:
- Low power mode ON
- Frame cap at 50
- High quality
- 2560x1600 resolution (you need to change aspect ratio to 16:10 to get this choice)
- FSR on quality
Got my fans spinning at 3500rpm, which is quiet enough for me.
