Virtual Programming has released the system requirements and pricing information for the soon to be released Mac version of Supreme Commander 2. The company also revealed that the game will make use of Valve's Steam for LAN play, but will be purchased through Deliver2Mac or a similar service. Gas Powered Games' real time strategy game drops players into the middle of a war between three galactic empires and gives them the chance to command enormous armies comprised of a host of customizable units.

Supreme Commander 2 Requirements:

• Mac OS 10.6.3 or higher
• 2.2GHz Intel CPU
• 1GB RAM
• 256MB video RAM (GeForce 8600, Radeon 2400HD or newer)
• 5GB Hard Disk space
• Internet connection
• Steam for Mac (for LAN play; yes, that gives you the PC version for free too)

Just got word back from Brad Cook of Virtual Programming to clear up some misconceptions about the game and Steam. Cook says, “Actually, it won’t be on Steam for Mac. Players will receive a Steam code so they can play over a LAN against others. That code will also give them access to the PC version. But they will initially buy the game from us, through Deliver2Mac or other service.”

Supreme Commander 2 will cost $39.95 (£29.94, €39.95). Check out the links below for more information.
