At a glance
Steep starts on Apple Silicon Macs, according to a player report: M2 Pro, 12 October 2026, rated 5 out of 5. The report doesn’t say how long they played. We haven’t run Steep in Uncork ourselves yet.
Steep came out on Steam on 2 December 2016, made by Ubisoft Annecy, Ubisoft Montpellier, Ubisoft Kiev.
Will Steep run on a Mac?
Players ran Steep on Apple Silicon Macs through the same kind of compatibility layer Uncork uses:
| Date | Mac | macOS | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 Oct 2026 | M2 Pro | 26.3.1 | 5 / 5 |
Graphics in the reports: D3DMetal.
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 6 GB of memory for Steep; 8 GB recommended.
Any Apple Silicon Mac has enough memory for the listed minimum.
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).
Steep uses DirectX 11: Uncork renders it with D3DMetal.
How to launch with Uncork
- Download Uncork — it’s free.
- On first launch, Uncork installs everything it needs and Steam — about ten minutes.
- Sign in to Steam with your password or a QR code from the Steam app on your phone.
- Find Steep in your library and install it (25 GB).
- Before its first launch, Steep will ask you to sign in to Ubisoft Connect: Uncork installs it automatically. We have reached the launcher’s sign-in window; we haven’t tested Steep through it.
- Launch it with the “Play” button in Uncork.
If Steep won’t start or crashes, message us on Telegram at @uncorkwin and we’ll look into it together.
What we have not tested
We haven’t run Steep ourselves, so we don’t know the frame rate on your Mac, how online play will work and how controllers will work.
