Announced in late October 2024, CD Projekt Reds mega-hitCyberpunk 2077 is coming to Macs sometime in 2025.
Based on what I saw, it should be a winner.
What is Cyberpunk 2077?
Cyberpunk 2077 was released in late 2020 on PC and home consoles.
As I wrote in myCyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty review, the game had completed its redemption arc.
If youre a fan of Robocop, Akira, Neuromancer or The Matrix, youll feel at home.
Now, Mac users can dive into this game in the form of Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition.
This version offers the base game and the aforementioned Phantom Liberty expansion.
Everything from a grimy back-alley market to the futuristic neon-drenched streets looked phenomenal.
Visually, the game is on par with anything a powerful gaming rig can deliver.
Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition leverages the power of Apple silicon and Metal graphical effects.
It packs features like path tracing, frame generation, and built-in Spatial Audio.
Apple says these features will make for an immersive gaming experience.
In the demo, an Apple representative walked the player-character through several locales in Night City.
Everything from a grimy back-alley market to the futuristic neon-drenched streets looked phenomenal.
The ray-traced reflections on glass buildings were particularly impressive.
Visually, the game looks on par with anything a powerful gaming rig can deliver.
Apple says Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is coming to Macs powered by theM4family of chips.
This makes me wonder how it will run on devices with older chips likeApple M3andApple M2.
Unlike the downtrodden denizens of Night City, Im choosing to be optimistic.
Stay tuned for my full report on the game when it launches.
