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 8 GB of memory for God of War.
An 8 GB Mac is tight; 16 GB is more comfortable.
Allow about 70 GB for the game and another 5 GB for Uncork and Steam (their size in our fresh-install check in October 2026).
God of War uses DirectX 11: Uncork renders it with D3DMetal.

What we have not tested
We haven’t run God of War ourselves, so we don’t know the frame rate on your Mac and how controllers will work.
