At a glance
We tested Hello Neighbor on a Mac ourselves: before 30 September 2026; exact day not recorded, MacBook Pro 14″ with M3 Pro, Uncork 1.0.5. Starts without tweaks; frame rate not measured.
Hello Neighbor came out on Steam on 8 December 2017, made by Dynamic Pixels.
Will Hello Neighbor run on a Mac?
Players ran Hello Neighbor on Apple Silicon Macs through the same kind of compatibility layer Uncork uses:
| Date | Mac | macOS | Rating | Played |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18 Oct 2026 | M5 | 27.0.1 | 5 / 5 | 63 min |
Graphics in the reports: DXMT.
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 6 GB of memory for Hello Neighbor; 8 GB recommended.
Any Apple Silicon Mac has enough memory for the listed minimum.
Allow about 5 GB for the game and another 5 GB for Uncork and Steam (their size in our fresh-install check in October 2026).
Hello Neighbor uses DirectX 11: Uncork renders it with D3DMetal.
