Through a Steam database update for Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red may have just hinted at the imminent macOS version release. As surfaced on SteamDB, the new changelog has entries for macOS depots, launch options, and base game support.

While Cyberpunk 2077 launched in December 2020, it's still seeing active development, with the developers offering regular patches for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. CD Projekt Red has even announced that the game will soon be available on macOS in October 2024, with the potential release being set for early 2025.

Well, it seems that the macOS release is going as planned, as CD Projekt Red has just updated the game's Steam database, adding macOS executable and multiple depots. The depots added seem to be enough to bring support base game and localization options to Macs (base 2024 MacBook Pro with M4 curr. $1,399.00 on Amazon).

With this change in the Steam database, the launch options have a third entry, specifically for macOS. All these suggest that Cyberpunk 2077 is coming to Macs with Apple silicon very soon. Of course, it's still not clear how well the game will run on Apple's systems.

The initial launch of the game wasn't as smooth as expected. As a matter of fact, there were so many issues that made pretty much all gamers say that it was a rushed release. However, with constant updates, the developers have made Cyberpunk 2077 come to a point where gamers often regard it as a must-play title for fans of RPGs.

Hopefully, the macOS release won't be as unstable as the game's initial launch. However, it's unclear whether Cyberpunk 2077 on Apple devices will get as good of a mod support as it has on Windows.
