Hi everyone, today I bring Death Stranding on the base model M1 MacBook AIR with only 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD.

I've tested the game with 37 different gfx settings, as you can see below in the chapters.

Great game overall, performance is really crazy for the entry-level M1.

Hope this is useful, enjoy!
