No Man’s Sky is available for Mac from today
Hello Games made an exciting announcement at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in 2022: No Man’s Sky was finally coming to Mac computers. Now, ahead of WWDC 2023, Mac users can finally play No Man’s Sky to their heart’s content. Hello Games claims to have worked closely with Apple to bring the game to life, and supports the company’s Metal 3 interface “to achieve console-quality graphics while saving battery life on laptops and lower-end devices.”
No Man’s Sky is available to anyone with an Apple silicon-equipped Mac (launched in 2020) or an Intel-based Mac with at least a Core i5 processor. There’s no need to re-purchase the game if you already have No Man’s Sky via Steam on your PC, as you can save your progress to switch between devices without losing your progress. Mac users also have cross access, so you can join players on Xbox, PlayStation 4 and 5, PC or VR.
The expansion for Mac follows some major updates to the game, including a HUD and UI redesign, as well as a new story called Interceptor, which introduced better visuals and new VR controls. Steam users can download No Man’s Sky today, but it will be available on the Mac App Store “soon.”
