Cuphead 1.3.3 (57402)

Cuphead 1.3.3 (57402) for Mac

Cuphead is a run-and-gun action game from Studio MDHR built around difficult boss fights and 1930s cartoon presentation—hand-drawn animation, watercolor backgrounds, and original jazz recordings. On Mac it is distributed through official stores such as Steam and GOG, not as a native Mac App Store title for the full game.

Gameplay and content

You play as Cuphead or Mugman in single-player or local co-op, clearing bullet-heavy stages and multi-phase bosses across the Inkwell Isles while working off a debt to the Devil. Combat emphasizes pattern recognition, parrying pink objects, weapon loadouts, charms, and super arts rather than exploration or RPG progression.

The Delicious Last Course expansion (sold separately on Steam) adds Inkwell Isle IV, playable Ms. Chalice, new weapons and charms, and additional bosses. Version 1.3.3, released in July 2022, is a maintenance patch focused on that DLC and base-game stability rather than new levels.

Build 57402

Catalog build 57402 corresponds to the Steam/PC patch line for version 1.3.3. Studio MDHR does not publish separate Mac-only release notes for this build number; Mac received the same 1.3.3 changelog as PC when the patch shipped.

Mac requirements and performance

Steam lists macOS 10.11 or later, an Intel Core i5 or better, 4 GB RAM, graphics with Metal support (Intel HD 4000 or higher listed as minimum), and about 4 GB storage. The game uses Unity; Apple Silicon Macs typically run the Intel build through translation unless a native build is offered on your store—check performance before buying for handheld difficulty.

Controller support is expected for serious play; patch 1.3.3 fixed rare loss of controller input in Porkrind’s Shop. A 16:9-friendly control-mapping layout fix is also noted in the patch notes.

Licensing

Purchase through Steam, GOG, or other authorized retailers. The Delicious Last Course requires the base game plus the DLC entitlement. Saves and updates are tied to the platform you buy on; switching Steam beta branches (for example legacy DX9 builds) can affect compatibility and saves per Studio MDHR warnings on older posts.
