While it’s unconfirmed as to whether it might be headed to Apple’s forthcoming headset, the classic action-adventure survival game “No Man’s Sky” is now available for the Mac on Steam, with “another surprise” from studio Hello Games to follow in the “near future.”
Following last year’s WWDC announcement, Hello Games announced that No Man’s Sky would be available for the iPad and Mac would by the end of 2022. While Hello Games missed that deadline, the game is finally available for the Mac as of Thursday. Hello Games founder Sean Murray teased two upcoming Apple-related announcements earlier this week. Today, Murray seemingly confirmed that the launch for Mac is one of the two teased announcements, meaning another is soon to follow.
No Man’s Sky is currently available on multiple VR platforms, including the Windows PC and PlayStation VR. When the game was demoed at WWDC last year, it was played on a Mac with the M1 chip. Since Apple’s headset is rumored to feature at least one chip that is based on the M2 chip in addition to a dedicated image signal processor, it should be more than capable of running the game.
No Man’s Sky is available for the Mac now on Steam and retails for $59.99, with a release on the Mac App Store to soon follow. The game also offers a cross-play feature, which tracks the progress of the game and your campaigns across platforms.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
