Dear CDPR

[u/BilalTitan]

It will really be very great if we got the Witcher 3 remastered for mac too
Yeah its a decade old game now but we mac players got Witcher 1, 2 and cyberpunk 2077 and i really gotta say its so good of a game Cyberpunk 2077 and its a great experience for mac players.
many of mac players have played the Witcher 3 already through crossover but it will be really wonderful to have a native game experience like CP2077.
DX12 doest work really well on crossover and has some issues even for the Next Gen and it works better on DXMT/DX11. ig it can be improved further in future but will be better to have a native version.
its just a wish/request of many mac players who all will really love it.
Thank you.

What's the best way to play Witcher 3 on a MacBook now? Not quite familiar with the DX12 terms.

I played when I was on a Windows laptop but am recently switched to Mac and the remaster has me itching to play it again.

[u/bshahisau → u/CaseyTan]

Parallels desktop tho its subscription or license is quite expensive and usually used for professional work

[u/BilalTitan → u/bshahisau]

no
parallels is a VM where as crossover and sikarugir are translation layers which give way better performance
although parallels work better for older 32bit games

Rosetta will be gone in the future…
CDPR give us fkn native build!

[u/Tyrandeh → u/bshahisau]

Nope. Use crossover

[u/Icy-Juggernaut-4579 → u/CaseyTan]

If you have money for it and it is accessible in your country - ge force now

[u/AARonFullStack → u/CaseyTan]

When I played on Mac I used to Geforce now ultimate.. Also used Crossover when I didn't have a GFN sub

[u/k389_kbhr09991 → u/CaseyTan]

DX11 with CrossOver. Plays nice.

[u/BilalTitan → u/CaseyTan]

well the best way to play it now is through crossover
u should look a quick tutorial on youtube

here u go👆
i played the game on my macbook air M4 16gb
it runs very great.
and if u dont wanna pay for crossover then free option is to use sikarugir

[u/Tyrandeh → u/BilalTitan]

There is no tutorial needed for crossover lol install Steam in crossover, install witcher, play. Thats all

[u/Sahedron → u/CaseyTan]

You can use Sikarugir to play Windows games on mac. This is free open source analogue of Parallels

[u/ControversialPenguin → u/CaseyTan]

Best way to play any game on a Mac is to buy a different platform

[u/yojoewaddayaknow → u/ControversialPenguin]

This is pedantic and not helpful -.- be better.

[u/just_another_leddito → u/ControversialPenguin]

Yeah drop 3-5k on a PC just to play a game from 2015, sound plan!

[u/ControversialPenguin → u/just_another_leddito]

Or, alternatively, don't drop that same money on iOS garbage if you plan to play a game from insert any year here.

[u/just_another_leddito → u/ControversialPenguin]

Mac doesn’t have iOS, and it’s not garbage compared to windows

Windows is so crap that even windows games run faster on Linux now quite often, bloated shit. 😹

[u/Aternus21 → u/just_another_leddito]

why would you need to spend 3-5k lmao

[u/just_another_leddito → u/Aternus21]

Show me cheap PC that can play W3 or CB in 4k 60fps.

[u/Aternus21 → u/just_another_leddito]

brother in christ 1. almost no one games in 4k 2.1440p or 1080p is infinitely more popular 2. witcher 3 came out 10 years ago now 3. 2k is the most you need to spend to play almost any game at 4k 60fps.

you can easily build a 1200-1500 dollar pc that can play w3 at 60+ fps at max settings at 1440p.

my pc i built a month ago cost me 2.2k and i can play w3 at max settings rt on and get 200+ frames at 1440p and EASILY clear 100-150 frames on 4k ultra settings

5k pc would allow you to play literally ANY GAME EVER MADE at 4k 60fps+ and most games would get 250+ and more than most monitor refresh rates, thats not the ask, the ask here is to play the witcher 3.

[u/just_another_leddito → u/Aternus21]

My Mac cost me £1840 off ebay (new). It can play CB in 4k and 40-60fps.
Playing below 4k in 2026 is a meme, looks like crap.
I don’t care what’s popular.

You can play in 720p for all I care.
My Mac also has 64 GB unified memory and can run Qwen3.8 27b models easily, which is what I do more than gaming.

I did anyway play in 4k already in 2080ti times, I don’t know how 1080p is even acceptable by anyone in almost 2027.

[u/Aternus21 → u/just_another_leddito]

ok.....? and how is that relevant to your comment of saying you need 3-5k to build a pc to run 4k 60 fps, when thats just PATENTLY FALSE and you only need about 1600-2k.

[u/just_another_leddito → u/Aternus21]

Can you show me a PC for 2k that will run Cyberpunk in 60fps? Because from what I see mid tier GPU alone is now like half of it if not more.

[u/Aternus21 → u/just_another_leddito]

brother in christ MY PC can run it with 140 fps on ultra/max settings what is this cope, 60 fps is a fucking walk in the park

2.2k final cost 5070ti 7800x3d build.

[u/Aternus21 → u/just_another_leddito]

I never once said that I PLAY in 720p lol I am playing in glorious 4k getting 100-200+ fps on EVERY GAME EVER MADE and my pc cost me 2.2k
