What your Mac needs

Steam requirements list at least 1.5 GB of memory for Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition.
Any Apple Silicon Mac has enough memory for the listed minimum.
Allow about 22 GB for the game and another 5 GB for Uncork and Steam (their size in our fresh-install check in October 2026).

What we have not tested
We haven’t run Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition ourselves, so we don’t know the frame rate on your Mac, how online play will work and how controllers will work.
