Will Phantom Brigade run on a Mac?

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 16 GB of memory for Phantom Brigade.
An 8 GB Mac is below the minimum: the game will probably run slowly.
Allow about 10 GB for the game and another 5 GB for Uncork and Steam (their size in our fresh-install check in October 2026).
Phantom Brigade uses DirectX 11: Uncork renders it with D3DMetal.

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