Get ready to dive back into the mysterious worlds of Myst and Riven, now revamped for the latest consoles. Cyan Worlds is bringing these classic adventure games to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S with some snazzy new updates.
Both games have been given a serious facelift, including support for Sony’s PlayStation VR2 headset. On the PS5, you can choose between a 2D flatscreen mode or fully immersive VR. Plus, the games now feature ray-traced reflections and a Performance Mode that boosts gameplay to 60fps, perfect for those who love smooth gaming experiences. If you’re a lucky owner of a PS5 Pro, expect even better graphics with enhanced textures and shading.
Xbox players aren’t left out either. Riven comes with Xbox Play Anywhere support and offers the same ray-tracing and performance options, plus 4K and HDR for those with compatible displays. Cyan Worlds has been working on modernizing these games since 2020, and it shows. This May 19, you can grab each game for $35 on your favorite console or the Microsoft Store.
With all these upgrades, Myst and Riven are set to capture both new players and longtime fans. Keep an eye out for how these classics hold up against other revamped titles like Call of Duty’s latest console changes.
