Subnautica on Mac: Everything you need to know
Did I mention Subnautica is a beautiful game too? The game looked already great but then developer Unknown Worlds went ahead and released the Eye Candy update which basically makes it look even better. The update adds:
- Chromatic aberration
- Bloom
- Lens artifacts
- Dithering
- Motion blur
- Colour grading
- Depth of field
Does it mean you need a powerful Mac to run it?
Well, you’ll need to meet at least the following system requirements:
- Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: OS X 10.9 Mavericks
- Processor: Intel Haswell 2 cores / 4 threads @ 2.5Ghz or equivalent
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- Graphics: Intel HD 4600 or equivalent
- Storage: 20 GB available space
For reference, Graphics are usually the main issue when it comes to running games. If you have Intel Iris Graphics integrated graphics or better, you should be fine.
You can find the game on Humble Bundle.
