The Witcher 1 and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Now on New macOS; System Requirements
Witcher fans who use Apple computers and laptops have received an update dedicated to the company's latest device. Today The Witcher: Expanded Edition and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings received the update on GOG, Steam and the App Store.
Today, CD Project RED announced on the X/Twitter profile of The Witcher series that the first two parts of Geralt of Rivia's adventures have received a new update. It specifically affects newer Apple computers and laptops.
Although The Witcher: Extended Edition and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings were released on Macs years ago, the games needed support in the form of an update on hardware with M1 and M2 processors, as well as on those running the latest macOS Ventura to work properly. CDP RED announced it in October, and today we can use it.
This means that users of devices running on the latest macOS Ventura system and with Apple Silicon M1 or M2 processors can finally play these games. The update is now available on GOG, Steam and the App Store. I must admit that I felt encouraged myself, because although I have completed both these games long ago, any opportunity to experience these adventures again seems good.
Will Mac users also live to see the latest installment of The Witcher adapted to their platform? No one knows, but as X/Twitter users rightly point out under the developers' post:
"The Witcher 3 coming soon? After all, it already works fantastically, but you have to use additional programs. A dedicated version would be a thing of beauty," declares MysticalOS

He is a fan of the Berserk manga and films from the A24 production company.
