Some important notes

Black Myth: Wukong is a AAA game, so the graphics requirements are quite high. Apple Silicon M series chips need to meet certain requirements. The higher the resolution, the higher the requirements, so basic configuration machines should set the image quality to “Medium”.

Mac Studio with Apple M1 Max chip can only run at 30FPS with average image quality, but sometimes the image in the game will be broken due to the incompatibility between M1 and M3 series with Unreal Engine 5. Currently, only M2 chip has better support for this technology.

If you've purchased the game, remember that Steam has a refund policy if the game doesn't work as expected (provided it's played for no more than 2 hours).

Which Macs are compatible with Black Myth: Wukong?

Mac users can now experience Black Myth: Wukong with image quality and smoothness nearly equivalent to the original version, depending on the machine configuration and graphics settings.

On M1 Chip

The M1 series may experience rendering issues and graphical errors due to not being fully compatible with Unreal Engine 5.
Performance is average, may experience lag.

On M2 Chip

The M2 series, especially the M2 Pro and M2 Max, offer a smoother experience.
However, due to high configuration requirements, you should lower the graphics settings to ensure stable performance.

On M3 Chip

The M3 Pro and M3 Max series are the best choices for playing Black Myth: Wukong on macOS.
Shader compilation errors may appear for some users, updating to macOS 15 should resolve this issue.

On Intel Chip MacBook

Older Intel MacBooks need to meet the minimum CPU, RAM, and GPU requirements.
Even with an AMD Radeon Pro 5300M or 5500M graphics card, performance is limited due to the GPU's underpowering capabilities. Using an eGPU can help you achieve performance similar to that of an AMD Radeon RX 580 graphics card.
