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 Grand Theft Auto V Legacy; 8 GB recommended.
Any Apple Silicon Mac has enough memory for the listed minimum.
Allow about 125 GB for the game and another 5 GB for Uncork and Steam (their size in our fresh-install check in October 2026).
How to launch with Uncork
- Download Uncork — it’s free.
- On first launch, Uncork installs everything it needs and Steam — about ten minutes.
- Sign in to Steam with your password or a QR code from the Steam app on your phone.
- Find Grand Theft Auto V Legacy in your library and install it (125 GB).
- Before its first launch, Grand Theft Auto V Legacy will ask you to sign in to Rockstar Games: Uncork installs it automatically. We have reached the launcher’s sign-in window; we haven’t tested Grand Theft Auto V Legacy through it.
- Launch it with the “Play” button in Uncork.
If Grand Theft Auto V Legacy won’t start or crashes, message us on Telegram at @uncorkwin and we’ll look into it together.
What we have not tested
We haven’t run Grand Theft Auto V Legacy ourselves, so we don’t know the frame rate on your Mac, how online play will work and how controllers will work.
