Testing Cyberpunk 2077 on the M1 MacBook Air which has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD. Also, it is fan-less, relying solely on its chasis to cool down. It is also the weakest M1 chip throughout the lineup, in this case it only has 7 GPU cores.

Nonetheless, the game is able to run, and that alone is very impressive. Needless to say, if you have a more powerful system, it should perform better.

However, the game is not in a playable condition. Despite the initial performance, once the system starts to throttle, performance takes a huge hit and the game drops to around 5-10 fps.
