    This game uses Unreal Engine 4 which is needing of these recommended hardware:

    Processor Quad-core Intel or AMD, 2.5 GHz or faster
    Memory 8 GB RAM
    Video Card/DirectX Version DirectX 11 compatible graphics card

    Remember now you still need to think about the interaction about mobs and players.

    A Macbooks doesn't have enough strength to run this game, properly or with noticeable unplayable lag.

    I feel 100% safe to say Yes! As long as Apple provides support for Boot Camp

    I do, mainly for professional applications... (music, coding, etc.)

    Btt: I hope they won't include mac support, just for the reason that it's extra work that isn't quite worth the effort for an upcoming game in this over-saturated genre.
    I would just use bootcamp(who, as a at least casual-gamer, hasn't installed bootcamp on his mac anyways?).
    Get the game finished for PC with the promised features and take your time devs. The game should do quite well even without mac support.

    And as you can see in the graph on this <a href="https://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=10&qpcustomd=0&qptimeframe=Y" target="_blank">>>page<<</a> there are not that many people that use OS X as their operating system.

    Tldr;

    Gamers use Windows --> Install bootcamp

    They've said Windows first and possibly Mac later. Nothing in the engine that would make it particularly difficult to port into Mac.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I for one would love a Mac port. Boot Camp or Parallels work, but can really slow down and degrade the game experience.

    Hi all, this thread has been moved out of Announcements and into General Discussion because it is off-topic.

    Thank you!
