  • Save games are now placed in subfolders with the game names on both macOS and Windows, instead of in a global ScummVM save folder. Save games that already exist will be copied over from the original possible save game locations to the new location (only once) to accommodate this change.
  • Launching the game directly, when launching the game for the very first time, will auto-select the in-game language to be the language you have set on your operating system (if there is a match).

Hi all,

We’re thrilled to announce that our “2.0” patches for Myst: Masterpiece Edition, Riven: The Sequel to Myst (1997), and Myst III: Exile are now out on Steam!

The 2.0 patches for all three games contain major quality-of-life improvements, including (but not limited to): more robust controller support, better save game support, and better platform support for both Windows and Mac. This also includes an official Steam Deck verified status for all three titles on Steam.

Here is the full list of changes between all three games:

Global
  • Updated ScummVM to version 2.9.0
  • Updated the SDL2 library used by ScummVM to version 2.32.6
  • Multiple stability, performance, and compatibility improvements
  • Controller support added to emulate mouse interactions
  • User settings now persist between game launches

Windows Only
  • Windows executable is now 64-bit
  • Updated the taskbar icon
  • Save games are now stored in AppData/Roaming/ScummVM. Existing saves are automatically copied over to the new location
  • Windows 7 64 bit and above is now required to run the game

Mac Only
  • Added native Apple silicon executable
  • Workarounds for opening the Mac binary on various modern macOS versions and chipsets are now no longer necessary
  • Fixed the issue with the system mouse cursor visibility on MacBook models with a notch
  • Fixed the issue with the game asking to receive keystrokes from other applications
  • Save games are now stored in Library/Application Support/ScummVM. Existing saves are automatically copied over to the new location
  • Decreased min-spec to macOS 10.9.5 from 10.13 (yes, that means folks on older Macs can play these games now!)

Steam Only
  • Steam Deck verified status added
  • Steamworks SDK 1.62 added
  • Custom gamepad and Steam Deck mappings have been added to make playing with a controller on Steam even easier
  • A keyboard will appear on the screen when prompting users to enter a save game name when in big picture mode

Game-specific changes
  • Myst III: Exile is now using ScummVM instead of ResidualVM to run
  • Fixed the freeze on startup in Myst III: Exile on some systems

64-bit requirement note: Please note that this update removes 32-bit support for all three titles. This change really only applies to folks who have been playing these games on extremely old operating systems. If you are one of those users and wish to keep access to those builds, you can find them in the “last_32bit_release” beta branch on Steam or GOG for each game, which should be available without needing to enter a beta code.

If you encounter issues with this latest patch, please contact support@cyan.com.



We’ve been hard at work for the last few months coding, testing, and preparing to ship these changes to you all. Although these changes aren’t necessarily new content updates to the games, Cyan remains committed to continuing to support our legacy games on modern platforms when we’re able to. Riven: The Sequel to Myst was originally released 28 years ago, Myst: Masterpiece Edition was released around 25 years ago (if you ignore the very original release of Myst released 32 years ago), and Myst III: Exile was released 24 years ago.

Every purchase you make of our games goes toward our ability to support our titles years into the future. We consider ourselves outliers in the industry based on our ability and commitment to keep supporting our games for decades, but it is only possible with your support. We sincerely appreciate everyone who has purchased all three of these games and beyond!

There is no better time to experience Myst: Masterpiece Edition, Riven: The Sequel to Myst (1997), and Myst III: Exile. Thank you for your support, and enjoy!

Riven (1997) - Hannah
The fan-favorite Age of Rime has been added as a free update to our latest remake of Myst. Just like the latest remake of Riven (2024), this version of Rime includes all-new narrative beats, new lore, and new sights to behold. Myst (2021) is now the definitive and complete way to experience the story and worlds of Myst.



Following the completion of the main story in Myst, or upon loading a completed game, a new journey awaits you somewhere on Myst Island.

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.



You can find Myst here. Myst is also a part of multiple bundles that will provide a discount based on the purchase of other games in them:

Riven (1997) - Hannah
Hi all,

As many of you may already know, we've been working on a remake to Riven. We've remade Myst (the game of which Riven is the sequel to) a few times over the years, with the definitive version released for PC in 2021. Riven, however, never had the opportunity to be remade... until now! We're happy to announce that the remake of Riven released on June 25th, 2024 to RAVE reviews, and it is on sale for a limited time. You can find more information about its release here, or check out the store page here.



This remake of Riven has surprises in store for fans and newcomers alike. We are so proud of the work we've put in over these last few years to make it a reality.

If you already own the original Riven, you can pick up the remake of Riven at an additional 10% off discount as part of the Riven: The Complete Collection bundle.

If you already own Myst (2021), or if you don't and you've always wanted to own the latest remake of Myst, you can pick up the remake of Riven at an EVEN DEEPER discount of 15% off as a part of the Myst & Riven: The Definitive Collection bundle. This will be your best opportunity to get the remake of Riven[i/] off at a discount for a while.

This would be a great opportunity to introduce friends & family to the wonderful world of Myst and Riven, and we couldn't have done it all without your support over the years. Thank you all so much for playing our games!
