Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition Coming to Mac – Optimized for Apple Silicon
Mac users will finally have the chance to experience one of the most acclaimed open-world RPGs in recent years as Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition launches on the Mac App Store this Thursday, July 17. This version includes the base game, all updates and DLCs, and has been fully optimized for Apple Silicon, offering stunning visuals and immersive audio.
Cyberpunk’s Remarkable Comeback Journey
Launched in 2020 with a rocky start plagued by bugs and performance issues, Cyberpunk 2077 disappointed many gamers. But CD Projekt Red worked relentlessly to fix the problems with numerous patches, performance upgrades, and the Phantom Liberty expansion with the major 2.0 update. These efforts turned Night City into the vibrant, story-rich, and visually stunning world that was originally promised.
Fully Optimized for Apple Silicon Macs
Surprisingly, CD Projekt Red decided to bring Cyberpunk 2077 to the Mac platform. The Ultimate Edition takes full advantage of Apple Silicon chips—from M1 to M4—provided the device has at least 16GB of unified memory. The “For this Mac” feature auto-adjusts the best graphics settings for supported Macs, including iMac, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and Mac Studio with M3 Ultra.
Players can enjoy advanced features such as:
-
MetalFX Upscaling: Smooth resolution upscaling.
-
AMD FSR: Frame rate enhancement.
-
HDR support for Apple XDR displays: True-to-life, vibrant colors.
Immersive Spatial Audio with AirPods
Beyond visuals, the game also impresses with its spatial audio experience tailored for AirPods. Combined with head-tracking, it creates a highly immersive soundscape—from roaring engines to street conversations, every detail is brought to life.
Cross-Platform Save & Free Access for Existing Players
If you already own the game on PC or console, you can download the Mac version for free and continue your progress thanks to the cross-platform save feature. This is great news for players looking to explore Night City across multiple devices.
Mac as a Promising Gaming Platform
This marks a new milestone in Apple’s push to turn Mac into a serious gaming platform. AAA titles like Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, Death Stranding: Director’s Cut, and Resident Evil 4 have also made their way to Mac, showing real commitment from developers.
Conclusion
With the Ultimate Edition, Cyberpunk 2077 not only concludes its impressive redemption arc but also opens a new chapter for Mac gamers. Night City is ready to be explored with peak performance and breathtaking sound. Mark July 17 on your calendar and prepare to dive into one of the decade’s most impressive open-world experiences.
Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will be available on the Mac App Store, Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store on July 17.
