The Mac version of No Man's Sky says its minimum requirement is an Intel i5 and Radeon Pro 570X 4GB. So my Iris Plus 1536MB is out (and yes, I've tried it anyway, I get a white screen after the menus, but it sounds like the game is running when I press keys).

What Macs even have that GPU or a bigger one? iMac and Mac Pro? That it? And I suppose M1 Macs count as well, as otherwise this port would be useless if it only supported Intel.

@uliwitness looks like even low-end ARM Macs will do: https://social.pixels.pizza/@pixel/110568043662311484

@chucker Yeah, that makes sense, if Apple announces it at WWDC saying how awesome their GPUs are, it better run on all the new machines. Though I was actually surprised that they bothered with the Intel version. My guess is that was a side product of the port; first port to higher-end Intel Macs, then make additional changes to make it run on Apple Silicon .

@uliwitness FWIW, it runs great on an M1 Max 14” MBP on ultra settings with something like a 2k screen res @ 60 fps
