The Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition Now Available for Mac with Apple Silicon Support

A new era has arrived for fans of “The Witcher” series as CD Projekt releases an exciting update for Mac users. With the integration of Apple Silicon support, players can now delve into the fantastical world of The Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition like never before.

Previously, Mac users could enjoy the original release and its sequel but were left waiting for compatibility with Apple Silicon chips. However, that wait has now come to an end. In a recent tweet, The Witcher’s official X account proudly announced that both The Witcher: Enhanced Edition and The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings have been updated to fully support Apple Silicon M1, M2, and the latest macOS Ventura.

To accommodate these enhancements, macOS Big Sur has become the new minimum requirement. An explanation from CD Projekt sheds light on the technical side of things, mentioning the utilization of technologies like the JIT-compatible memory management and Apple’s Game Controller framework.

For Intel Mac models, fear not! You can still enjoy the previous version of the game. Just remember to disable automatic updates on platforms like Steam and GOG to ensure compatibility.

While Windows users have already had the opportunity to experience The Witcher 3, Mac users can now revel in the magic of its predecessor. Immerse yourself in the rich narrative, remarkable visuals, and enthralling gameplay that have made The Witcher series a global sensation.

This update marks a significant milestone, bridging the gap between Apple’s innovative hardware and the captivating world of The Witcher.
