Steam requirements list at least 2 GB of memory for Grim Dawn; 6 GB recommended.
Any Apple Silicon Mac has enough memory for the listed minimum.

What we have not tested
We haven’t run Grim Dawn ourselves, so we don’t know the frame rate on your Mac, how online play will work and how controllers will work.
