Can the MacBook Pro (16-inch, M2 Max, 2023) run Sons Of The Forest?
Not compatible
No — it doesn't meet Sons Of The Forest's minimum requirements. Sons Of The Forest lists 64-bit Windows 10 as its supported platform in the publisher's requirements, and the MacBook Pro (16-inch, M2 Max, 2023) 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 I5-8400 or AMD RYZEN 3 3300X
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 1060 3GB or AMD Radeon RX 570 4GB · 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: 12 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: 20 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: 64-bit Windows 10
“Not judged” means we lack verified information for that component. It never means the laptop fails it.
