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 VelocityUltra.
Any Apple Silicon Mac has enough memory for the listed minimum.
Allow about 0.65 GB for the game and another 5 GB for Uncork and Steam (their size in our fresh-install check in October 2026).

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