Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition on Mac

According to CD Projekt Red, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will be made available on Mac starting July 17, on multiple storefronts. It can be purchased through the App Store for Mac, GOG.com, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. The package will include the base game and the Phantom Liberty expansion, along with other free content and updates released post launch.

The release was first announced in October 2024 and was initially expected to arrive in “early 2025”. Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will become the second major title to be available on the Mac, following the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows earlier this year. Thus, starting July 17, Mac users can hit Night City as V, along with their companion Johnny, played by Keanu Reeves.

Apple said that the game will be compatible on Mac computers with Apple Silicon M1 or later chipset, with at least 16GB of unified memory, and running on macOS 15.5 or later firmware.

As per the developer, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will offer exclusive support for head-tracked Spatial Audio when compatible AirPods are connected. It is said to include ‘For this Mac' graphics presets which have been individually optimised for each Apple Silicon Mac model.

The game takes advantage of MetalFX upscaling and AMD FSR upscaling. CD Projekt Red has dynamically calibrated HDR to optimise it for Apple XDR displays. HDR output is also supported on external screens. Further, it has support for game controllers, Magic Mouse, and Trackpad. Owners will be able to track their progression across all platforms, not just Mac, courtesy of cross-progression support.

According to Apple, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will leverage several other new features that were recently announced at WWDC 2025. This includes Metal FX Frame Interpolation and MetalFX Denoising to deliver up to 120fps gameplay when set to the ‘Ultra' settings. The latter will also enable real time path tracing on the game's highest quality graphics settings.

Notably, the minimum and required specifications for running the game are yet to be announced. Before Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition for Mac is released, the developer will preview the highly-anticipated Patch 2.3 during its REDstream today (July 16).
