XIV on Mac requires macOS Big Sur 11.6.7+ but we recommend using the latest version of macOS Monterey or macOS Ventura.
- FPS is based on user testing.
- Due to a lack of driver updates, we cannot support any Intel GPUs. The game may still launch, but you will run into artefacts and crashing.
- This list isn't comprehensive - just because your system isn't explicitly listed, it doesn't mean the game won't work.
- Any Mac with an Intel CPU and recent Navi or Vega GPU will work.
- All M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra and M2 are also fully supported.
- Benchmarks are based on the Recommended Settings mentioned in the FAQ.
