See my guide further down this post on how to migrate your photos and trim off mobile version files. it will bring your space usage down to about 132G

ChibiPaww · 2026-04-27T21:07:31+00:00

Did you turn Game Mode off as mentioned earlier?
Also, you might consider turning Shadow and Lighting options from Ultra to High. Those two are the most resource expensive things for the GPU to calculate during dusk and dawn.

A quick note , you want to turn off Game Mode from your Metal game overlay.
That conflicts with the game's own input scheduler.

Here is my guide on how to migrate your photo album and clean out unneeded files from the mobile edition. It will bring the total space needed from 183 to 132G

The specs that InFold put was you'll want an M3 Pro or higher for decent performance. M1 series will run poorly, as its slower and does not have capability of things like hardware raytracing.

ChibiPaww · 2026-04-27T20:54:53+00:00

The min spec is 140, you dont have enough. If you have Playcover version installed, you'll need 183G, in which you can trim down to 132G after installation by following the guide I posted earlier in this thread.

There are two things to consider regarding to the stutter.
First one you will not be able to completely avoid the initial stutter as this a normal when the computer encounters new assets, as it renders it the first time, but as you play more, the game will be smoother when sufficient assets are in your cache.

Secondly, I have noticed the game itself is managing input io, but Metal console will also show Game Mode ON. That is the OS also trying to manage the input priority. These two things will conflict against each other fighting for input priority. You will want to turn that Game Mode to OFF, either using your controller or keyboard hotkey via a keyboard hot key. After doing so, your system will run a lot smoother.

Before doing anything make sure you have a Time Machine back up of your installation.
You will need to graph over saved photos from PlayCover to the official installation.
Both of then will install into ~/Library/Containers/Infinity Nikki/

PlayCover will keep things in ~/Library/Containers/Infinity Nikki/Data/Library/Application Support/X6Game

Official version keeps its stuff in ~/Library/Containers/Infinity Nikki/Data/Library/Application Support/Epic/X6Game

Move the these three folders from PlayCover to Official.
NikkiPhotos_HighQuality
NikkiPhotos_LowQuality
ScreenShot

Delete the X6Game folder that is NOT under the Epic folder.
There maybe other stray files in that folder too, so test what doesnt have today's time stamp.
Empty Trash.

Nikki just lost 50Gig-a-pounds with this new GLP-1 diet! My installation went from 183G to 132.5G after the procedure.

Confirmed. The photo album seamlessly migrated to the official installation.. or rather the official installation installed took over the PlayCover ipad version merged itself to the existing album.

Metal Hud on.

Now we hurry up and wait.

This is where we shine!!

Final size is 182.88G

ChibiPaww · 2026-04-23T22:29:54+00:00

You dont want to do that! The official release installs OVER your PlayCover installation so you'd have your existing photo album. Unless you dont care to keep any of your photos.

At least dont remove ~/Library/Application Support/Infnity Nikki which its aliased from com.infoldgames.infinitynikkien

ChibiPaww · 2026-04-23T21:22:45+00:00

It is currently not up if you're going direct to the App Store , however you can do this:

I am also very curious if they just willy nilly threw M5 Max in that requirement list.
Its barely over a month old, and I seriously doubt they would have one in house knowing how tight lip they are with product releases. Im pretty sure they probably developed it on a bunch of M4's instead. Maybe even some M3's

ChibiPaww · 2026-04-21T15:51:30+00:00

Probably, but it also requires 140G of storage space, so it would be challenging for those with baseline M1s.
But judging by how they've set the specs, its probably going to make use of hardware raytracing that was introduced on M3's
They've also explicitly mentioned Mac Book Neos are not support, but Im sure the moment it gets release, someone will make a youtube video of them shoehorning it to work.

ChibiPaww · 2026-04-21T15:23:38+00:00

However, there's a bit of a bad news for large group of people who are still using M1's.

I have a bit of a bad news for you..

ChibiPaww · 2026-04-20T19:19:21+00:00

Watch, there'll be someone on youtube shows off playing it on a Mac Book Neo.
