The British video game company Hello Games announced this today No Man’s Sky launches on Macs starting today. The action-adventure survival game is now available for Mac users on Steam and coming soon to the Mac App Store. On Steam, the game is free if you already own the PC version.
The official launch comes as Hello Games announced last year at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) that No Man’s Sky would eventually appear on Macs. Now, a few days before this year’s WWDC event, the game is now rolling out on Macs.
No Man’s Sky is available to players who have a Mac with Apple silicon or an Intel-based Mac with at least a Core i5 processor.
“Including seven years of updates and built natively for Apple Silicon and i5 Intel Macs, No Man’s Sky for Mac supports cross-play, PC-to-Mac cross-save, fast load times using the Mac internal SSD and MetalFX- upscaling for console graphics,” Hello Games wrote in the description of the game’s trailer.
No Man’s Sky first launched in 2016 and is available on the Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch. The game can also be accessed via VR via the PSVR 2. With Apple expected to announce its mixed reality headset at WWDC next week, the tech giant’s device will eventually support the game.
