TL;DR: System requirements are ranging from M1 to M1 Pro or better Apple silicon chips. The game is priced at $60 on Steam.

I can’t speak for M1 generation or non-pro M2, but it runs amazing on the base M2 Pro. Before the macOS release I logged over 160hrs with CrossOver; my biggest issue being Lower City in Act 3 being a slideshow.

Now with the official release, its running well with nearly maxed settings (2x vsync and disabled DOF) @ 1440p. Also doesn’t really spin up the fans all that much, definitely handles better than say Cities Skylines or late-game Civ 6.

It doesn’t spin the fan ? I guess you have a 16” model then.

I got a 14” M2 Max (30 GPU cores) and the fans are definitely spinning.

While the game runs really smoothly (I got an almost constant 60 FPS all maxed out at native resolution) I have yet to find the settings to get the fans quiet (around 3000 RPM would be good enough I guess)

EDIT: I managed to lower the fans spin by using those settings:

  • Low power mode ON
  • Frame cap at 50
  • High quality
  • 2560x1600 resolution (you need to change aspect ratio to 16:10 to get this choice)
  • FSR on quality

Got my fans spinning at 3500rpm, which is quiet enough for me.
