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 1 GB of memory for FINAL FANTASY XIII; 2 GB recommended.
Any Apple Silicon Mac has enough memory for the listed minimum.
Allow about 60 GB for the game and another 5 GB for Uncork and Steam (their size in our fresh-install check in October 2026).
FINAL FANTASY XIII uses DirectX 9.0c: Uncork renders it with its built-in graphics.
