On Mac, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will take advantage of Metal API technologies and will run on machines equipped with Apple Silicon chips (potentially M1 to M4). The developer mentions ray-tracing, path tracing, image generation (frame generation) or even spatial audio.
More and more games from Apple
It remains to be seen to what extent and with what quality the game will offer all of this compared to the PC and solutions from Nvidia and AMD. Especially since for the moment image generation is not part of the MetalFX graphics API. The Mac models affected are also not known, the M3 and M4 chips being the only ones to support ray-tracing. In the meantime, it has been revealed that other AAA games will soon be coming to Mac, such as Assassin's Creed Shadows.
