At a glance
Resident Evil starts on Apple Silicon Macs, according to a player report: M1, 29 September 2026, rated 4 out of 5. The report is short — 3 min of play, and nobody has checked longer sessions yet. We haven’t run Resident Evil in Uncork ourselves yet.
Resident Evil came out on Steam on 19 January 2015, made by CAPCOM Co., Ltd.

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 2 GB of memory for Resident Evil; 4 GB recommended.
Any Apple Silicon Mac has enough memory for the listed minimum.
Allow about 20 GB for the game and another 5 GB for Uncork and Steam (their size in our fresh-install check in October 2026).
Resident Evil uses DirectX 9.0c: Uncork renders it with its built-in graphics.

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