Can the MacBook Pro (16-inch, M1 Pro, 2021) run PAYDAY 2?
Not compatible
No — it doesn't meet PAYDAY 2's minimum requirements. PAYDAY 2 lists Windows 10 as its supported platform in the publisher's requirements, and the MacBook Pro (16-inch, M1 Pro, 2021) 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: 2 GHz Intel Dual Core 64-bit Processor
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 & AMD (1GB VRAM) · 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: 32 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
“Not judged” means we lack verified information for that component. It never means the laptop fails it.
