What your Mac needs
You need a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer): Uncork does not run on Intel Macs.
Allow about 35 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 Max Payne 3 in your library and install it (35 GB).
- Before its first launch, Max Payne 3 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 Max Payne 3 through it.
- Launch it with the “Play” button in Uncork.
If Max Payne 3 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 Max Payne 3 ourselves, so we don’t know the frame rate on your Mac, how online play will work and how controllers will work.
