'Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration' Release Date and Mac Requirements Revealed

Monday April 9, 2018 5:45 AM PDT by Tim Hardwick
Back in February, Feral Interactive announced that Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration would make its way onto macOS this spring. The title is a port of the 2016 PS4 game and the sequel to the series reboot Tomb Raider from 2013.

In a follow-up announcement today, Feral revealed an April 12 release date for the title as well as pricing and the official system requirements that Mac owners will need in order to run the game at an acceptable performance.


As well as AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards, Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration will support the following Intel integrated graphics cards: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 540, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 550, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 and Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650.

Feral says the game will be supported on the following Macs:
  • All 13-inch MacBook Pros released since 2016
  • All 15-inch MacBook Pros released since Late 2013 with a 2.3GHz processor or better
  • All 21.5-inch iMacs released since Late 2017
  • All 27-inch iMacs released since Late 2013 (models with an Nvidia GT 755M graphics card are not officially supported)*
  • All Mac Pros released since Late 2013

*Late 2012 models with a 2GB Nvidia 680MX graphics cards are also supported.


Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration can be pre-ordered on the Feral Store for $59.99, which includes the base game and all the DLC ever released for it. It's also worth checking your Mac's hard disk space before purchasing the game: Customers who download it from the Mac App Store will need 37GB of available storage, while purchases from Steam will come in at a less weightier 27GB.

A port of a 2 year old game that will passably run on a $2000 Mac.

Apple won’t put gaming graphics cards in their computers.

I don’t know why we get these half assed ports 2 years late.

You can buy this game for $10 on Steam.

It's a pain that the graphics cards aren't great and we have to wait, but if there's one thing Feral don't do, it's half-assed ports. Since they've started using Metal, they usually run at least as well as Windows versions in Boot Camp on the same machine. (F1 2016 ran a little bit better, in fact.)

Can't believe this won't even run on '13 Macbook Pro late 2015. The machine is not even 3 years old yet.


The 13 inch models don’t have discrete gpus and so are just not powerful enligh to run it. What you said is akin to me complaining that my brand new iPhone won’t run it, or that my Apple TV won’t run it, or that my watch won’t run it for that matter

That’s why I think it’s a better solution to have a PC or console for gaming and have a MacBook Pro and/or iMac for macOS and productivity.


Yes, I agree. I just wish it could be a PC or Mac for gaming and a MacBook Pro for productivity on the go.

That's more or less the way I have it now since I have a MacPro5,1 (6-core 3.33 GHz) and a GTX 970 GPU and dual boot into Windows 10 for the games that doesn't work (or work less well) in macOS.

So, looking forward to Apple bringing some good desktop computers back (hopefully).

It's a fantastic game, SE has brought Tomb Raider to almost Uncharted quality, but yeah... could get it on sale for PS4 or Steam for a tiny fraction of the price :/

Seriously, this is an incredible game. Played through it to 100% on my Xbox one and it's one of my favorite games of all time.

...that said, I'm selling my Xbox One disc for $10. (Not kidding)
