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

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.
