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 1 GB of memory for Ikaruga; 2 GB recommended.
Any Apple Silicon Mac has enough memory for the listed minimum.
Allow about 0.512 GB for the game and another 5 GB for Uncork and Steam (their size in our fresh-install check in October 2026).
Ikaruga uses DirectX 9.0c: Uncork renders it with its built-in graphics.

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