So I’m sure, that it’s the best RPG game of the whole time. And if you are using Mac OS, like I’m doing and want to try it I have to say that unfortunately this game requires Windows and there is no version of Cyberpunk 2077 for Mac OS. So our community is left without a ready to go version an you can’t play Cyberpunk 2077 on Mac natively. For the most people Macbooks are not associated with the real gaming experience.

Run Cyberpunk 2077 on Mac with Parallels
Parallels is the virtualization software that allows you to launch Windows and Cyberpunk 2077 on Mac OS with the help of virtualization. This program can be outlined for DirectX 11 support using Apple Metal. The meaning of it is that your Mac can render 3D graphics up to 15 percent faster than other programs. It will close you to the native gaming experience. Moreover, Parallels also supports new Sidecar features. This means you’ll be able to use Windows apps on an iPad when you’re using it as a second screen for your Mac, and it also includes improved Apple Pencil support. Furthermore, there is no need to reboot your device after the playing and you will get the access to the muultiplayer. So as you can see this program has a great variety of pros. Try it now!
You will be redirected to the purchasing page. The home version is enough to run the game. Note: the performance depends on the hardware of your device.
Launch Cyberpunk 2077 on Mac with Boot Camp
Boot Camp gives you an opportunity to start playing this game on your Mac OS natively. All you need is to launch Boot Camp and install Windows with the help of this application. Then you can simply launch Windows and then run any game you need. However, this solution is not so fast, as Parallels, as Boot Camp requires a great amount of hard disk resources to work. So you need a very fast hard drive. Moreover, when you are done with the game and you need to return to Mac OS, you will have to reboot your device. So you should be ready to some performance issue while playing. If you are still not sure, we have one more solution for you!
Play with GeForce Now
GeForce Now is one of the best solutions to launch this game on Mac OS. All you need is to purchase the subscription and already made gaming library. Technically, you rent a very powerful computer, which streams the gameplay right for you. Don’t be afraid of stutters and freezes – the hardware of these computers will perform any game with ultra settings. However, you need good internet speed to enjoy the gameplay. Moreover, at the moment of writing this article, this service doesn’t support this game. However, it’s still possible in the nearest future. So you’d better visit their website and check it out your own!
FINAL WORDS: however, there are not all possible solutions to play Cyberpunk 2077 on your favorite platform, but they are the best ones. GeForce Now can give you the best experience, but it requires a fast internet connection. Boot Camp is also OK, but it requires a lot of free disk space and its performance can vary. Parallels can be the best choice too, but it also depends on Mac’s hardware.
