Is my Mac supported?

XIV on Mac requires the latest versions of macOS Monterey, Ventura, or Sonoma. Only the latest point release of each major operating system is supported. For best results, use macOS Ventura or later on a Mac with Apple silicon.

As of version 4.10, macOS Big Sur is no longer supported. Users who need to remain on Big Sur can continue using version 4.9 but will not receive any further bug fixes or improvements.

Note: At 1080p, most higher-end M-series chips are bottlenecked by Rosetta's x86 to ARM translation overhead rather than the GPU. However, they will be able to scale to high resolutions (1440p, 5K, 6K+) with minor performance loss.
