CPU: Intel Core i3-3225 3.3 GHz (2 cores, 4 threads) or better
RAM: At least 4 GB RAM
HARD DRIVE: At least 25 GB of free space with at least 1 GB additional space for custom content and saved games
VIDEO: Support for Metal. Intel HD 4000 (Integrated Graphics) or better
INPUT: Keyboard and Mouse
ONLINE REQUIREMENTS: Internet connection required for product activation.
RECOMMENDED SPECS:
OS: Mac OS® X 10.11 or later

VIDEO CARD: Intel HD and Iris Graphics from the HD 4000 series or newer

HARD DRIVE: 50 GB of free space, with at least 1 GB additional space for custom content and saved games
