Does anybody have any information about the Digital Deluxe version for the Mac?

That does meet minimum requirements, I must have misread something when compiling the list. Shall update it, cheers.

If you buy it on Steam, then you get the Deluxe version either for Mac or Windows.

Thank you Xyth, that's encouraging. Hoping that I'll be able to run it on low/medium settings!

Hey everyone, found this thread after my heart jumped for joy that CIV VI was coming to Mac so soon after launch. Things quickly came crashing down though after I came across specs, and reading that Mac Mini wouldn't meet requirements.
I just need to check, one last time, before I resign myself to having to find another way to play CIV VI this year: What about the "Late 2014 Mac Mini"?
Specs are: 2.6 GHZ intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel Iris 1536 MB (not a Pro).
What would happen if I tried to run it? I know it's speculation for now until it's released but would impact if I pre-order this game or not. Thanks anyone who can help!

GPU and CPU (It's a dual core i5, needs to be quad core) are definitely below the minimum. As to how it might run (or not), only Aspyr knows for sure. In my experience their specifications tend to be neither too lax nor too draconian, but bear in mind that these aren't recommended specifications - they are minimums. If I were you I'd be looking into getting a different computer to play Civ6 on, one that has a dedicated (non-Intel) GPU.

Thanks Xyth what you're saying makes a lot of sense. I've got a laptop refresh at work coming up in a few days - might push for a machine that can run CIV VI on it. Famous last words for my career maybe!

The answer will probably be: YMMV (Your mileage may vary.)
I can tell you I ran Civ IV on an old PPC Mac mini. Even though it was below spec, it still ran fine.

Unfortunately, my past experience has been that initially the Mac version isn't as good as the PC version. With V I could not run the Mac version in as high a detail as I could the PC one. While these eventually get corrected, I've just given up and play most of my games on Boot Camp. I'll be installing VI via boot camp on day one.
Everyone, the preload button is available now (on my Mac)! The download was only 22 MB, but I hope that does mean we will get it on release day.

Yes, I got it pre-loaded too. I had problems getting the Steam client to run. First of all it showed that it was downloading updates, then quit without warning. When I tried again I just got a message saying that it couldn't be opened. I reinstalled the app and it ran OK this time.
The full 3.9 gigs preloaded or just a 22 MB file?

Even less. It's obviously just there to start the download proper when the game is unlocked.

Maybe a version w/o mod capability and/or multiplayer? I heard it was like that for CIV V.
Good thing my wife has a Windows laptop. This way, I can start playing right away, and not wait for Aspyr to finalize the port.

If we don´t get it on release day, I´m using VMware free 30 day trial to run Windows 10 and the game. You gotta have your back up plan, don´t ya?
If you have Win 10 already, why not use bootcamp? In the long run, much easier?

Sorry for the gajillionth post of this nature but I'm v much a layman and nobody has asked about my specific spec's yet.
I have an early-2014 Macbook Air, but it was fully tricked out at the time. I see I don't meet the 2.3 GHz or graphics requirements as listed. I realize it's all a guess at the point, but if you're reasonably knowledgable, how likely do you see it that I'd be totally F'd, even with all graphics settings set to the minimum?
