CD PROJEKT RED’s action RPG Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition won the Apple Design Award 2026 in the Visuals and Graphics (Games) category. The Apple Design Awards are presented annually by Apple Inc. during the Worldwide Developers Conference, spotlighting outstanding software and hardware across categories that vary each year.
Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition was released for macOS in July 2025 as a fully native port optimized for Apple silicon, later earning Apple’s Mac Game of the Year award. Engineered specifically for macOS, the port takes advantage of Metal-powered rendering to deliver the vibrant neon lights, detailed cityscapes, and atmospheric environments of Night City with impressive visual fidelity. Native Apple silicon support and platform-tailored optimization settings help ensure smooth performance across supported Mac devices.
To help players get the best experience on their device, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition also includes the dynamic “For this Mac” graphics preset. Rather than applying the same settings across all supported Macs, it automatically adjusts graphics options and resolution based on available hardware, delivering an optimal balance between visual quality and performance.
