Myst 2021 remake7/28/2023 ![]() ![]() This new Riven is not an update or upgrade, it is a modern from-the-ground-up remake that has required (and will continue to require) a substantial investment of resources. Q: If I purchased a copy of the original Riven, will I get a free copy of this remake?Ī: Thank you for your support over the years! But, no. Q: Which platforms is it coming to, when it is coming out, what are the system requirements… etc.?Ī: We don’t have information to share about that yet. See our blog post here for more details on that. However, the Starry Expanse team did assist in kicking off this project. We wanted to make sure we could take on such a difficult, costly and complicated endeavor-and do it well.Ī: No, this is a from-the-ground-up remake of Riven from Cyan. We didn’t want to approach it lightly or frivolously. Q: Why did this take so long? It’s been 25 years!Ī: Riven is one of the most highly regarded games in Cyan’s history. There is a Myst for every graphics generation. It is on probably every platform you can think of, it has been remade several times before and now we have another remake. Any other supported navigation methods will be announced at a later date. Myst was a 1993 classic and the best selling PC game until 2002. By using these techniques, you can run the game with more than 90fps in 4K/Max Settings with Ray Tracing on an RTX3080.Q: Is this remake point-and-click only like the original Riven was, or will it be traversable in 3D space?Ī: The remake of Riven will be fully traversable in 3D space. And while these ray-traced reflections require a lot of GPU power, PC gamers can either enable DLSS or FSR in order to improve performance. In my opinion, the best solution would be a hybrid between AMD FSR’s sharpness and NVIDIA DLSS’ better aliasing/performance.Īll in all, Myst can run great on a wide range of PC configurations without its Ray Tracing reflections. Those that want to avoid jaggies should use DLSS and those that want a sharper image should use FSR. So yeah, DLSS and FSR have pros and cons here. However, there is way more aliasing with AMD FSR. On the other hand, AMD FSR looks sharper than both native 4K and NVIDIA DLSS. My guess is that Cyan did not properly adjust the DLSS sharpness. However, I believe that the game would greatly benefit from an extra layer of sharpness. To its credit, DLSS manages to maintain the softness of native 4K. However, and similarly to native 4K, DLSS looks a bit soft. Not only that, but it runs noticeably faster than both native 4K and AMD FSR. In fact, it can beat native resolution in most cases. The game uses DLSS Version 2.2.11.0, so there is no reason at all to replace its DLL file.īelow you can find some comparison screenshots between native 4K (left), DLSS (middle) and FSR (right).Īs we can see, DLSS does an excellent job at eliminating jaggies. Now the good news here is that Myst supports both NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR. We’ve also included MSI Afterburner so that you can get a better idea of the performance hit. We’re talking about a 50-60% performance decrease in most cases which is… a lot.īelow you can find some comparison screenshots between the non-ray-traced (left) and the ray-traced (right) versions of Myst. However, there is also a HUGE performance hit. Don’t get me wrong, there is a noticeable visual improvement in water or other reflective surfaces. And, to be honest, we were not really impressed by them. ![]() So yeah, rest assured that the game’s non-ray-traced version can run on a wide range of PC systems.Īs said, Myst Remake uses Ray Tracing for its reflections. We’ve also tested an AMD Radeon RX580 at 1080p/Max Settings, and we were able to get a constant 60fps experience. At native 4K, our RTX3080 was able to push a minimum of 110fps and an average of 140fps. Without its Ray Tracing effects, Myst does not really require a high-end GPU. We also used Windows 10 64-bit and the GeForce 471.68 driver. So, time to benchmark them and see how this new ray-traced version of this adventure game runs on PC.įor these benchmarks, we used an Intel i9 9900K with 16GB of DDR4 at 3600Mhz, and NVIDIA’s RTX 3080. Myst Remake uses Unreal Engine 4, supports both NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR, and features ray-traced reflections. Cyan has released an official remake of the classic adventure game, Myst.
