What your Mac needs

Steam requirements list at least 1 GB of memory for King's Quest; 2 GB recommended.
Any Apple Silicon Mac has enough memory for the listed minimum.
Allow about 13 GB for the game and another 5 GB for Uncork and Steam (their size in our fresh-install check in October 2026).
King's Quest uses DirectX 9.0c: Uncork renders it with its built-in graphics.

What we have not tested
We haven’t run King's Quest ourselves, so we don’t know the frame rate on your Mac and how controllers will work.
