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 0.512 GB of memory for Splendor; 1 GB recommended.
Any Apple Silicon Mac has enough memory for the listed minimum.
Allow about 0.15 GB for the game and another 5 GB for Uncork and Steam (their size in our fresh-install check in October 2026).
Splendor uses DirectX 9.0c: Uncork renders it with its built-in graphics.

We haven’t run Splendor ourselves, so we don’t know the frame rate on your Mac and how online play will work.
