MacBook Air compatibility - Call of duty Black ops 3

Hey guys so I am thinking about purchasing Black ops 3 for my MacBook Air 2017 but I have no idea if the game is even compatible with my MacBook.

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

The MBAir only has a low end Intel GPU not suitable for a game like CoD.


You can check the game's system requirements by locating the game on Steam. I highly recommend the computer meets the "Recommend System Requirements" for a decent gaming experience. It seems the macOS requirements only include "Minimum" system requirements which only has listed a single GPU: Radeon M295X @ 2GB.

While some Apple systems can run games, most are not good gaming systems. Apple laptops tend to run hot using normal workloads, much less the extreme stress a game puts on a laptop.
