Cyan releases M1-optimized version of Myst

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.
