‘The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’ is one of the best games of the last decade (See their analysis of the Switch version here). But before this masterpiece, CD Projekt had already worked on 2 games about the adventures of Gerald of Rivia, which were little known until the explosion of the third part.

Actually you can Play ‘The Witcher’ and ‘The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings’ on MacIn improved versions designed for Intel processors. But now after a few years in circulation, both games have been updated to run natively with Apple Silicon Macs.

“The Witcher” and “The Witcher 2” now available on Macs with M processors

‘The Witcher’ and ‘The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings’ are considered cult games. After Wild Hunt made us fall in love with the story of Gerald of Rivia, many gamers wanted to play the previous games, so CD Projekt would release ports and remasters of the previous installments.

The video game series “The Witcher” developed by CD Projekt has achieved remarkable success. While the original game and its sequel have been available on Mac for some time, It wasn’t updated to be compatible with Apple Silicon chips until last Monday..

Via a tweet, Official account of “The Witcher” It has been announced that “The Witcher: Enhanced Edition” and “The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings” have been updated to support Apple Silicon M1 and M2 chips as well as the macOS Ventura operating system. These updated versions are now available for download on Steam, GOG and the Mac App Store.

As a result of this update, new minimum requirement for games is macOS Big Sur. CD Projekt explained in the note included in the update that this is due to the use of advanced Apple technologies such as JIT-compliant memory management and Apple’s game control framework.

For gamers using Mac models with Intel processors, It’s still possible to play previous versions of the games. However, it is important to disable automatic updates on Steam and GOG to prevent automatic updating to the new version.

It is also worth noting that, however, “The Witcher” series has a third game, which is currently only available for Windows users and it hasn’t been updated for Mac yet, but it seems like it’s only a matter of time before it comes out, but it’s also very likely that it will be exclusive to Apple Silicon versions.

Now with the massive difference in processing of the M3 chip, Apple will finally be ready for a competitive Gaming market. Is Apple finally ready to take on hardcore games?
