It'll have cross-play and cross-saveThanks to a series of Apple-related tweets from Hello Games' Sean Murray, many have speculated that No Man's Sky was coming to Mac. Now, that dream has become a reality, as it transpires that the universe exploration game has now become available for the Windows alternative.
The news comes from the man himself on Twitter, announcing the Mac version via a promotional video. Along with the teaser, here's an overview of what No Man's Sky fans will be treated to in this port. Namely, the space-faring title will have cross-play and cross-save, all the updates that have occurred over the last seven years, and more. Best of all, it's completely free to those who own the game on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/275850/No_Mans_Sky/).

Murray also tweeted another little nugget of information, which shows that the Mac version also supports VR. According to a report from Eurogamer (https://www.eurogamer.net/no-mans-sky-launches-for-mac-today), the game will run on any Mac that uses Apple Silicon. Therefore, the Mac Mini, Mac Studio, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro should be suitable. The requirements on Steam say you will need an Intel i5 processor and at least an AMD Radeon Pro 570X @ 4 GB, as well as macOS Monterey 12.3.
Once considered one of the most tumultuous video game launches ever (https://www.destructoid.com/top-10-worst-game-launches-in-gaming-history-ranked/), those who abandoned No Man's Sky would be forgiven for assuming things hadn't moved on. However, you couldn't be further from the truth. With a series of free updates that have significantly improved the experience while also delivering new content, Hello Games has really turned the tide. It even won a BAFTA in 2022 (https://www.destructoid.com/bafta-games-awards-nominees-returnal-it-takes-two-deathloop-goty/) for "Best Evolving Game." That's certainly a different story when compared to how things were in 2016.
