- The great action RPG Cyberpunk 2077 will be released in a version for Mac computers from Apple next year
- The game will be available directly in the ultimate edition, which includes the Phantom Liberty expansion in addition to the base game
- The Mac version will also support modern technologies, be it path tracing or image generation with the help of artificial intelligence
Four years after its original release on PC, PS4, Xbox One and the now-forgotten streaming platform Stadia, the award-winning action RPG Cyberpunk 2077 will also be taking a look at the Mac. Owners of Apple computers will wait until next year. Considering the relatively high hardware requirements, the game will offer support for rendering with the help of artificial intelligence, probably in the form of AMD’s FSR 3 technology. There will also be support for path tracing, which will be fully utilized especially by users with more powerful assemblies.
Fighting for the favor of the fans
Let’s recall that Cyberpunk faced huge technical problems immediately after its release, on the basis of which even Sony had to withdraw the game from the official PlayStation Store and return money to dissatisfied customers. Fortunately, the developers from the Polish CD Projekt did not resent the game and in the months and years after its release, they improved its condition through many updates that contributed to the stabilization of the frame rate and at the same time brought a number of visual and content enhancements.
Unknown compatibility
Unfortunately, the creators have not yet revealed which Mac computers will be compatible with Cyberpunk, but we expect that it will mainly be models equipped with the latest Apple M4/Pro/Max chipset. Likewise, we have not yet learned which chipsets will be powerful enough for the full use of the aforementioned path tracing. However, MetalFX upscaling technology should also be added to the game.
Cyberpunk will appear directly on Apple computers in the so-called Ultimate Edition, which, in addition to the base game, also includes the successful expansion Phantom Liberty from 2023. The expansion offered a generous portion of new content – the opportunity to explore the Dogtown district, an increase in the maximum level to 60, or new weapons and vehicles. The encore told a hilarious story in which actor Idris Elba played one of the main roles.

Cyberpunk 2077: The Mac Attack!
Well, well, well! After four years of teetering on the brink of unmitigated chaos, Cyberpunk 2077 is now deciding to grace the Mac world with its presence. Nothing says “we’ve fixed our mess” quite like jumping aboard the shiny new boat of Apple!
So, get ready to polish those Apple logos and prepare for a gaming experience that promises, in true Mac fashion, to be sleek, stylish, and hopefully a lot less glitchy than it was on consoles at launch. I mean, come on, there’s a reason they call it a “bug fix” and not a “bug feature,” right?
Ultimate Edition: The Glitz and Glamour
Cyberpunk will launch in an Ultimate Edition, which quite fittingly includes the Phantom Liberty expansion. So, for those of you who love exploring digital dystopias, enjoy new weapons, vehicles, and—you guessed it—more quests than you can shake a joystick at!
The expansion even features a storyline with Idris Elba. Because if there’s one thing we know, it’s that nothing draws in a crowd like a famous face. Honestly, I’d revisit my high school crush if Idris Elba was part of the story.
Macs and High Tech: Path Tracing, AI, and More!
Now, let’s talk tech – Cyberpunk 2077 is promising to support the latest gadgets and gizmos. We’re talking path tracing and AI-driven image generation, which sounds more like a trip to a sci-fi convention than a game launch! But hey, if our Macs can finally run a game without sounding like a jet engine, I’m all for it.
With the combination of AMD’s FSR 3 technology and MetalFX upscaling, the game should push the visual envelope. Just remember, folks, you might need to upgrade from “that old Mac you bought in 2015” to something slightly more robust, like an M4/Pro/Max. You know, unless you enjoy staring at a pixelated glitch-fest that would make a Windows user chuckle.
Reputation Rehabilitation: A Love Story
Let’s not forget the rocky road this game has traveled. Launched to more drama than a reality TV show, it was yanked from the PlayStation Store faster than you can say, “refund, please!” But—and it’s a big but—the developers have shown resilience, continuously rolling out updates. Perhaps they’ve learned that “fixing things” is not just reserved for Apple’s customer support!
Final Thoughts: The Waiting Game
For now, we’re left speculating which Macs will be able to handle this all-out cyber fest. But the excitement is palpable! Will it be just the latest models, or will the old-school folks like my granddad’s MacBook Air be left out in the cold?
Only time will tell, but you can bet your bottom dollar that the Mac community will be clamoring like a pack of hungry wolves when it finally arrives. Until then, stay tuned, keep your cyber-cleaning supplies handy, and who knows? Maybe they’ll fix the glitches before we’ve even had the chance to complain.
