MacBook & Civilization 6?

[acastic]

has anyone tried playing Civilization 6 on their MacBook? If so, how did it play?

They would've had to use Boot Camp. There (frustratingly) isn't even a date announced for MacOS.

I'm curious about this as well.
A friend on a Surface Pro 4 was able to run it, so at least it behaves okay with the 520 GPU.

I did try Final Fantasy X on a core m7 Windows laptop, and it seems to run fine and low setting. Of course,Civ 6 would have higher requirements, but I'm quite surprised that the Core m GPU can do it.

To my delight, I was wrong.

Is like to know if it runs on a MB as well. Who's gonna bite the bullet and test it out?

I've only played 10 minutes so far but seems to work fine. A little delay waiting for turns but don't think it's an issue with the macbook speed.

Very interesting. Thanks. Looks like I might give Civ a go.

On my 2015 m5 Macbook, at minimum settings (like no shadows and everything) at 800p, it ran the benchmark at 13fps. That sounds bad, but if you play with a small map, it's surprisingly playable. Apparently people are getting twice the framerates with bootcamp, so maybe installing windows might be worth it (But i can't justify spending another hundred dollars on a windows license just for cviv 6)
