XIV on Mac requires the latest versions of macOS Sequoia or Tahoe with an Apple M1 chip or newer. MacBook Pro w/ at least 16GB of RAM is recommended!

 

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.
