What your Mac needs
You need a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer): Uncork does not run on Intel Macs.
Steam requirements list at least 4 GB of memory for Drop Duchy; 8 GB recommended.
Any Apple Silicon Mac has enough memory for the listed minimum.
Allow about 1 GB for the game and another 5 GB for Uncork and Steam (their size in our fresh-install check in October 2026).
Drop Duchy uses DirectX 12: Uncork renders it with D3DMetal.
