- Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition is coming to macOS on July 17th and it will be available via Mac App Store, Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.com.
- The game will run on Macs with M-series Apple Silicon chip, featuring at least 16 GB of unified RAM.
- CD Projekt Red has optimized the game to run on Mac hardware and brings support for FSR and MetalFX upscaling.
Apple wants to cement the idea that its new M-series Mac machines can do gaming, and what better game to prove it than Cyberpunk 2077? It is one of the most demanding gaming titles of the decade, and it is finally coming to macOS on July 17th. It will be available for download from the Mac App Store, Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.com.
The game was originally scheduled to come out earlier this year, but it was delayed, and it is finally releasing next week. This is the Ultimate Edition of the open-world RPG, featuring the base game, the Phantom Liberty expansion , and patch 2.3, which includes new photo modes, gameplay adjustments, and additional vehicles. It will also come with cross progression.

The game will feature the “For this Mac” graphic preset , which will automatically tailor the settings according to the hardware. But more powerful chipsets like the Max and the Ultra will fully support path tracing , which will offer hyper-realistic lightning and reflections. Cyberpunk on Mac will also come with HDR support, which is good news if you own Apple’s XDR display.
Neither Apple nor CD Projekt Red has shared any performance numbers yet. But we do know that the Cyberpunk on Mac will feature AMD’s FSR upscaling and frame generation technology alongside MetalFX upscaling. This will offer smoother gameplay and better FPS even with path tracing enabled. Another Apple-related feature is support for spatial audio and head-tracking with AirPods Pro.
Hardware Requirements for Cyberpunk 2077 on Mac
CD Projekt Red has heavily optimized the game to work on all Macs running on Apple Silicon. That said, here are the hardware requirements to run Cyberpunk on your Mac.
- At least 16 GB of unified RAM.
- Mac running on M1, M2, M3, or M4 series of Apple Silicon.

- Apple and Google have officially confirmed their team-up for the next-gen Siri AI.
- The Cupertino Giant will be using Google’s Gemini for a more personalized Siri model as well as Apple Intelligence features.
- We can expect the next-gen Siri to come out with iOS 26.4, sometime in March or April.
Apple has officially confirmed joining forces with Google to use its Gemini AI model to power the next-generation Siri. It will offer a more personalized experience and will be coming out with the iOS 26.4 update. Apple also plans to leverage Gemini’s capabilities for other Apple Intelligence features as well, later down the line.
The Next-Gen Siri will be powered by Google’s Gemini AI
Apple officially confirmed that it will be partnering with Google in a statement to CNBC . Here’s what it stated, “After careful evaluation, we determined that Google’s technology provides the most capable foundation for Apple Foundation Models, and we’re excited about the innovative new experiences it will unlock for our users.”
Later, Google also shared a post on X confirming the tie-up, “Apple and Google have entered into a multi-year collaboration under which the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google’s Gemini models and cloud technology. These models will help power future Apple Intelligence features, including a more personalized Siri coming this year.”

Both statements clearly mention that the Cupertino Giant will be using Gemini to power its assistant Siri. This was already rumored, as Apple’s attempts to acquire Perplexity went nowhere. With Gemini, Siri will get a major AI update . It will be able to handle more nuanced conversations and provide better results. Something long-time Apple users have been asking for years.
The next-gen Siri will arrive with the iOS 26.4 update, which will launch sometime in March or April. And it is only going to be available for Apple Intelligence-supported devices .
Something else worth noting is how Google’s statement mentions that Gemini will power Apple Intelligence features. This leads us to believe that Apple could use Gemini’s multi-modal capabilities for its Writings tools , Image Playground , and Message summaries, too.
Elon Musk Not Happy With Apple and Google Tie Up
xAI CEO Elon Musk also responded to Google’s announcement post on X, sharing his thoughts on the matter by saying, “This seems like an unreasonable concentration of power for Google, given that they also have Android and Chrome.” Though we don’t expect either Apple or Google to respond to Elon, we will update the situation as it progresses.
It is worth noting that xAI is the company behind Grok, which is in hot water currently due to its inappropriate image generation fiasco , and has been getting backlash from multiple news outlets, X users, and even government authorities.
