About the Update

This major update containing the addition of Rime is free for existing owners of Cyan’s 2020 from-the-ground-up remake of Myst for Quest, and the 2021 Windows, Mac, and Xbox versions.

The “Age of Rime” introduces players to the snowy, mountainous seascape that Atrus and his family would visit in years past, before the events of Myst and Riven upended their lives. Sweeping vistas, beautiful ice structures, and fantastical natural phenomena await new visitors. This breathtaking new Age also houses a detailed laboratory space where bold experiments were made, delving into the mysterious nature of Linking Books themselves. This new version of Rime includes all-new narrative beats, new lore, and new sights to behold.

Key Additions

  • Added Rime, with all-new narrative beats, lore, and visuals.
  • Added the ability to zoom in on things.
  • Added support for Intel XeSS and TSR (Windows only) supersampling.
  • An option for Color Context Subtitles has been added to the Interface settings menu. This will show text next to puzzles that require seeing particular colors to figure out a solution.
  • Major graphical improvements made to Quest on Myst Island and other areas of the game. ASW has been enabled to accommodate this.

Myst is available now for Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, and Microsoft Store, as well as for Quest via Meta Store.
