Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition Launching on Apple Platforms
Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is set to launch on Mac computers this week, marking a significant milestone for gamers using Apple devices. Developer CD Projekt Red announced that the game will be compatible with Mac models equipped with Apple Silicon chipsets, specifically M1 or later. This complete version of the open-world RPG, which originally debuted in 2020, includes all post-launch content, including the much-anticipated Phantom Liberty expansion. Mac users can look forward to enhanced features such as MetalFX upscaling and spatial audio support.
Availability and Purchase Options
Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will officially be available for Mac starting July 17, 2025. Gamers can purchase the title through various platforms, including the App Store for Mac, GOG.com, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. This edition not only includes the base game but also bundles the Phantom Liberty expansion along with other free content and updates released since the game’s initial launch. The announcement was made via the official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account, generating excitement among fans eager to explore Night City as V, accompanied by the character Johnny, portrayed by Keanu Reeves.
The release of this edition follows an earlier announcement made in October 2024, where it was initially expected to arrive in early 2025. With this launch, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition becomes the second major title available on Mac, following the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows earlier this year. This development signifies a growing trend of high-profile games becoming accessible to Mac users.
Technical Specifications and Features
Apple has confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will run on Mac computers featuring the Apple Silicon M1 or later chipsets, requiring at least 16GB of unified memory and macOS 15.5 or later. The game promises to deliver an immersive experience with exclusive support for head-tracked Spatial Audio when connected to compatible AirPods. Additionally, the graphics settings have been tailored specifically for each Apple Silicon Mac model, ensuring optimal performance.
The game will utilize MetalFX upscaling and AMD FSR upscaling technologies, enhancing visual fidelity. CD Projekt Red has also calibrated HDR dynamically to optimize the game for Apple XDR displays, with HDR output supported on external screens. Players can enjoy the game using various input devices, including game controllers, Magic Mouse, and Trackpad. Furthermore, cross-progression support allows players to track their progress across all platforms, not just on Mac.
Advanced Features and Performance Enhancements
Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will leverage several advanced features introduced at the WWDC 2025 event. These include Metal FX Frame Interpolation and MetalFX Denoising, which enable gameplay at up to 120 frames per second when set to ‘Ultra’ settings. The game will also support real-time path tracing, enhancing the graphics quality to unprecedented levels.
While the minimum and recommended specifications for running the game on Mac have yet to be disclosed, anticipation is building as CD Projekt Red prepares to preview the highly-anticipated Patch 2.3 during its REDstream event on July 16. This patch is expected to bring additional enhancements and features, further enriching the gaming experience for players.
