Apple and CD Projekt RED have together announced the Ultimate Edition of Cyberpunk 2077 for Mac, a bundle that brings the game into a refined digital package for Apple’s machines. The edition includes the Phantom Liberty expansion and adds support for the latest technologies that many Mac players expect, including a framing system, path tracing, and spatial audio that layers sound and light for a more immersive Night City. The Mac version will be distributed through the Mac App Store, Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, making it easy for players to pick up where they left off or start fresh. Players who already own Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam will not be asked to purchase the game again, aligning with the publisher’s policy on cross-platform access for owners who already hold the title in another storefront. The news marks a notable expansion of the game’s footprint on Apple hardware, and signals CD Projekt RED’s continued investment in cross-ecosystem support that respects players’ accumulated collections across platforms. In this setup, Mac gamers can expect to dive into Night City’s neon-drenched streets with the full Phantom Liberty experience without the friction of a second full purchase. According to CD Projekt RED, the ultimate edition is designed to unite the core game with the expansion and the technical upgrades in a single, ready-to-play package for Mac users.
Details about the Mac edition’s technical specifications will be released as the project progresses. The plan for the release targets early 2025, though a precise date remains to be confirmed. The Mac version is expected to include optimizations for Apple Silicon, enabling better performance and higher fidelity visuals on supported Macs. The integration of path tracing is meant to enhance global illumination and reflections, while the framing system aims to stabilize frame times across diverse scenes. Spatial audio will augment environmental ambience, letting players hear the direction and distance of gunfire, engines, and chatter with greater clarity. In practice, these advances translate to a more cinematic sensation during quests, patrols, and exploration, especially in Night City’s densely lit districts. The company has indicated that more exact details will come as development continues, with demonstrations of gameplay and technical benchmarks to follow later. According to CD Projekt RED.
Cyberpunk 2077 originally launched on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in December 2020, delivering a sprawling open world that blends action role-playing and exploration. Two years afterward, the title expanded to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, bringing improved visuals, faster loading, and more responsive performance. The setting centers on Night City, a sprawling, neon-saturated metropolis in the Cyberpunk universe created by Mike Pondsmith. The story follows V, a customizable protagonist whose path through the streets is shaped by decisions about loyalties, implants, and power. The game’s design combines shooting, stealth, driving, and hacking into a single, continuous playground where players can pursue personal ambitions or align with different factions. The world thrives on a dense web of corporations, street-level factions, and a culture saturated with chrome, rain-slick streets, and a soundtrack that pulses with synth-heavy rhythms. In short, Cyberpunk 2077 invites players to craft a personal narrative within a living, breathing city that responds to choices and tools alike. According to CD Projekt RED.
CD Projekt RED has confirmed ongoing work on a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077. The Polish developer intends to push forward with a new chapter that builds on the engine, systems, and storytelling cues introduced in the current title. The company aims to bring fresh perspectives to combat, character progression, and world-building while preserving the dense, interactive atmosphere fans expect. The ongoing development reflects the publisher’s strategy to grow the IP across platforms and generations, continuing the momentum created by the latest updates and expansions. According to CD Projekt RED.
Earlier industry coverage mentioned a Russian project named Smoot that was expected to receive large-scale updates in honor of National Unity Day. Those briefings suggested significant enhancements and new content, though they did not come with formal confirmation from the developers involved. Readers should approach such claims with caution, as post-release schedules for large titles can shift due to technical or strategic considerations. Still, the mention underscores the broader pattern of updates and expansions that accompany long-running game ecosystems, where communities watch for new features, events, and optimizations that extend a title’s lifespan. The landscape of post-launch plans for Cyberpunk 2077 and related titles continues to evolve as official channels release further information. According to industry reports.
