Mac compatibility
Can you play Cyberpunk 2077 on a Mac?
Short answer: There's an official Mac version (Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate, 2025) — that's the answer. Grapple is only for the Windows build, which we haven't tested.
What we know
CD PROJEKT RED ported Cyberpunk 2077 to macOS itself and released the Ultimate Edition for Mac in July 2025. The Mac App Store listing asks for macOS 15.5 or later and a Mac with an Apple M1 chip or later; Steam carries a macOS build of the same app.
On an Apple Silicon Mac with enough memory, that native version is the better experience. Grapple only makes sense if you need the Windows build — for example for Windows-only mods.
The Windows requirements list DirectX 12, which Grapple runs through D3DMetal. We haven't run the Windows version through Grapple, so anything about it here is an expectation, not a result.
Grapple settings
Nothing verified yet. Where to start, based on its DirectX version (in the app, the same options are in the game's settings):
- DirectX 12 runs through D3DMetal, which comes with Grapple — a new install already uses it, and nothing needs downloading. See the Game Porting Toolkit guide.
- To see frame rates, turn on the Metal HUD:

FAQ
Can I play Cyberpunk 2077 on a Mac?
CD PROJEKT RED released Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate for macOS in July 2025 — on Steam, the Mac App Store and GOG. It needs macOS 15.5 or newer, an Apple Silicon Mac and 16 GB of memory. Likely to work — not tested yet, but nobody has tested it with Grapple yet. That's what the game's published facts suggest, not a result. The page changes to Works once players report it working.
What might stop Cyberpunk 2077 from working?
There's a native Mac version too — this expectation is about the Windows version run through Grapple. DirectX 12 is the newest thing Grapple translates, so it's also where we've seen the most surprises. Nobody has run this one yet.
Which DirectX does Cyberpunk 2077 use?
Cyberpunk 2077's requirements list DirectX 12. Grapple starts it on D3DMetal, Apple's DirectX 11 and 12 translator, which Grapple includes and uses by default.
Is there a Mac version of Cyberpunk 2077?
CD PROJEKT RED released Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate for macOS in July 2025 — on Steam, the Mac App Store and GOG. It needs macOS 15.5 or newer, an Apple Silicon Mac and 16 GB of memory.
