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 8 GB of memory for Path of Exile 2; 16 GB recommended.
An 8 GB Mac is tight; 16 GB is more comfortable.
Allow about 100 GB for the game and another 5 GB for Uncork and Steam (their size in our fresh-install check in October 2026).
Path of Exile 2 uses DirectX 12: Uncork renders it with D3DMetal.

What we have not tested
We haven’t run Path of Exile 2 ourselves, so we don’t know the frame rate on your Mac, how online play will work and how controllers will work.
