If you lived and breathed Myst back in the 90’s, it’s back and now optimized for M1-based Macs.
Software developer Cyan has undertaken a rework of the game that takes advantage of Metal 2.1 and AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution for a 50 percent performance boost on M1 Macs that does not impact game quality.
Myst for M1-based Macs offers improved modeling, textures, and dynamic lighting effects, and Apple’s machines are able to run the game at 4K resolution without noisy fans. It’s also been reimagined for a VR gaming experience.
The game is compatible with both Intel and M1-based Macs, and per the system requirements, works with the following machines:
- All MacBook Pros released since 2018
- All iMacs released since 2019
- All iMac Pros released since 2017
- All MacBook Airs released since 2018
- All Mac Pros released since 2019
- All Mac minis released since 2018
The updated version of Myst can be snagged from the Mac App Store and retails for $29.99.
