Can the MacBook Air (13-inch, M5, 2026) run NBA 2K25?
Not compatible
No — it doesn't meet NBA 2K25's minimum requirements. NBA 2K25 lists Windows 10 64-Bit (latest update) as its supported platform in the publisher's requirements, and the MacBook Air (13-inch, M5, 2026) runs macOS.
We did not judge the CPU, GPU, RAM, storage — only components we can verify are counted. This result stands regardless of them.
Component by component (minimum)
CPU
This laptop: not determined · Required: Intel Core i3-9100 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200
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: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 4 GB or AMD Radeon RX 570 4 GB or Intel Arc A580 · DirectX 12
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: 8 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: 150 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 10 64-Bit (latest update)
“Not judged” means we lack verified information for that component. It never means the laptop fails it.
