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 Planet Coaster 2.
An 8 GB Mac is below the minimum: the game will probably run slowly.
Allow about 25 GB for the game and another 5 GB for Uncork and Steam (their size in our fresh-install check in October 2026).
Planet Coaster 2 uses DirectX 12: Uncork renders it with D3DMetal.

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