Can the MacBook Pro (16-inch, M5 Max, 2026) run Sid Meier's Civilization VI?
Not judged
Not judged — we don't have enough verified information to say whether the MacBook Pro (16-inch, M5 Max, 2026) can run Sid Meier's Civilization VI. This is not a "no".
Nothing we can verify rules it out, but we can’t confirm it either. Each component below says which information is missing — compare those requirements with your own laptop’s configuration. We don’t guess.
Component by component (minimum)
CPU
This laptop: not determined · Required: Intel Core i3 2.5 Ghz or AMD Phenom II 2.6 Ghz or greater
Why not judged: There is no verified way to compare processors by name, so the CPU is shown for reference but not marked as meeting or missing the requirement.
GPU
This laptop: not determined · Required: 1 GB & AMD 5570 or nVidia 450 or Intel Integrated Graphics 530 · DirectX 11
Why not judged: There is no verified way to compare graphics chips by name, so the GPU is shown for reference but not marked as meeting or missing the requirement.
RAM
This laptop: not determined · Required: 4 GB
Why not judged: This laptop is sold with different amounts of RAM (or has upgradeable slots), so we can't tell how much yours has.
Storage
This laptop: not determined · Required: 17 GB
Why not judged: Installed storage depends on the configuration bought, and we don't record it. Check the free space on your own drive.
Operating system
This laptop: macOS · Required: Windows 7x64 / Windows 8.1x64 / Windows 10x64; also available on macOS (macOS requirements are listed separately on the Steam page)
Why not judged: The publisher's platform listing doesn't name a single operating system, so we can't match it to this laptop.
“Not judged” means we lack verified information for that component. It never means the laptop fails it.
