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 Split Fiction.
An 8 GB Mac is below the minimum: the game will probably run slowly.
Allow about 85 GB for the game and another 5 GB for Uncork and Steam (their size in our fresh-install check in October 2026).
Split Fiction uses DirectX 12: Uncork renders it with D3DMetal.

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