Cyberpunk 2077 on Mac: Finally Arriving, But Where's That Update, Eh?
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Cyberpunk 2077 is finally hitting macOS with the Ultimate Edition, but players are more interested in hearing about the delayed 2.3 update, leaving me wondering if this is a case of perfect timing or missing the mark entirely.
Right, listen up, choombas! Remember how CD Projekt Red promised us Cyberpunk 2077 on macOS? Well, according to Game Rant, it's actually happening. July 17th, mark it on your calendars. Apparently, Night City is about to get a whole lot shinier (or, well, more realistically rendered) on your fancy Apple Silicon machines.
I've been watching this port with a healthy dose of skepticism. Remember the… *ahem*… *turbulent* launch of Cyberpunk 2077? Let's just say it was less 'Keanu Reeves saving the world' and more 'Keanu Reeves staring blankly at a bug-riddled screen'. But, credit where credit is due, CDPR has been plugging away, patching and polishing, and now they're ready to unleash the Ultimate Edition, complete with the Phantom Liberty expansion and all those crucial updates (2.1 and 2.2, if you're keeping score at home) on the Mac crowd.
Now, the interesting bit. Game Rant notes that this version needs Apple Silicon and at least 16GB of unified memory. So, if you're still rocking that dusty old iMac from 2012, you might be out of luck, mate. This isn't some casual port; it's aiming for the high-fidelity experience.
But here's the real kicker, and Game Rant touched on this: while some folks are thrilled about blasting through Night City on their MacBooks, a whole bunch of players are screaming into the void for news about update 2.3. Understandably so. We've been promised improvements, fixes, and maybe even a few shiny new toys to play with. Is it blockchain related? Probably not, but this is about the overall experience so we're all keen to see what happens next.
So, what does this Mac release actually *mean*? Well, it shows that CDPR is still committed to expanding the reach of Cyberpunk 2077. Plus, it's another AAA title on macOS, which is always a good thing for the platform. But let's be honest: most of us are just impatiently waiting for update 2.3. C'mon, CDPR, throw us a bone here!
