The Witcher 1 and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings playable on new macOS systems, check the hardware requirements

Team CD Project RED on the X/Twitter profile of games z The Witcher series announced today that the first two parts of Geralt of Rivia’s adventures have received a new update. This applies in particular to newer Apple computers and laptops.

Although The Witcher: Enhanced Edition and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings were released on Macs years ago, on devices with M1 and M2 processors, as well as on those with the latest macOS Ventura system, these games needed support in the form of update. CDP RED announced it in October, and we can already use it today.

This means that users of devices with the latest macOS Ventura system and Apple Silicon M1 or M2 processors can finally play these amazing productions. The update is now available on GOG, Steam and the App Store. I admit that I felt encouraged myself, because although I have completed both of these games a long time ago, any opportunity to experience these adventures again seems good.

Will people who use Macs on a daily basis also see the latest part? The Witcher adapted to their devices? It is not known, but as X/Twitter users rightly point out under the developers’ post:

For now, all we can do is play the previous installments and wait for any news related to the version of The Witcher 3 for Apple devices. Below are the new hardware requirements for the macOS version of the games: The Witcher: Enhanced Edition and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.
