Laptops, Macs and activation limits

Four quick checks for setups that differ from a standard desktop PC.

Will FM27 run on a laptop?

A Windows laptop meets the minimum with an Intel Core i3-330M or AMD A6-5200 and GTX 960M, Radeon R9 M375 or Intel HD 530 graphics. The recommended tier asks for a Core i5-1035G7 or Ryzen 7 3750H with an RTX 2060 Mobile or RX 6600M.

Will FM27 run on a Mac?

Apple M1 covers both tiers, so memory decides where a Mac lands: 6 GB meets the minimum and 12 GB the recommended spec. Intel Macs and macOS 13 appear only at the minimum tier.

What else does Windows need?

Every Windows setup needs a 64-bit processor and operating system, a CPU with SSE4.2 and SSSE3, and graphics that support Shader Model 5.0.

Denuvo and activation limits

The Steam version uses Denuvo Anti-tamper, with a limit of five machine activations per day. Moving between more than five machines in a day runs into that limit, while everyday play on one PC does not.

4K, QHD and ultrawide monitors

Ultrawide support switches on as soon as you load into the game on a suitable monitor, and tables with many columns rescale to show more information.

QHD and 4K monitors (1440p and above) also get a scaling mode in Preferences. Default is where you start, and Detailed and Condensed add more on-screen information.
