Myst News

Myst is featured in the 2025 Cerebral Puzzle Showcase!

Myst is featured in the 2025 Cerebral Puzzle Showcase, running from May 29th to June 5th! To celebrate, we’re offering this definitive version of Myst (now including the Rime Age) for 40% off for the length of the Showcase.

25 years later, beloved PC classics Myst and Riven just got new 2.0 updates

The history of Myst is lengthy and storied. The original game arrived in 1993, but, over the years, it's been remastered, remade, and expanded enough times that it can be tough to keep track of what's new and what's old. But one thing has always remained true: all it takes is a single screenshot, and you know you're looking at Myst. A true PC classic, Cyan Worlds' point-and-click is still one of the most visually distinctive games of all time. Riven, the sequel, looks just as good - in an era of high-fidelity and photorealism, these games still stand out by the sheer power of their design. And now, they've just been updated. The original version of Riven, and the 2000 re-release of Myst, are now officially in 2.0.

Patch 3.0.4

Global

[h2]Majors[/h2]

Fixed an issue where some players who had previously played a randomized game of Myst prior to the Rime update were seeing a puzzle on Myst Island become unsolvable, preventing those players from reaching Rime.
Steam only: Fixed new Rime achievements not working.

[h2]Minors[/h2]

Minor mesh and lighting fixes implemented.
Fixed a typo in Sirrus’s Journal in Rime.
Fixed some interaction issues with the miniature lens toy in Rime.
(SPOILER) Updated miniature lens toy model to have the same number of notches as the imager device.
Adjusted the lab ruler model and textures in Rime so the "1" is in the right spot.
Added an elevator region for the buttons in Rime.
Fixed an issue with the aurora in Rime initializing to the wrong color under certain circumstances.
Fixed some issues with the blank book in Rime causing incorrect behavior.

Quest only

We are writing the Quest-specific patch notes here as we recognize some standalone Quest users come to Steam to look at patch notes instead of through the Meta Horizon app. There is a fairly major save game fix that was a part of this patch (for Quest standalone only) and wanted to communicate it here as well. Again, please note that these changes are not for issues that occurred on Windows or Mac, or in PC VR.

Fixed some lenses in an area of Rime not displaying colors properly.
Fixed save games from older patches on Quest not copying over to new builds. If you had already made new saves in the latest version of Myst on Quest standalone, you will be prompted with a choice to convert your old saves to new ones. If you did not already make new saves in the latest version of Myst, your old saves will automatically be brought over and converted without prompt.

32 years later, PC icon Myst finally feels complete thanks to a big new update

1993 was a transformative year for PC gaming. First came Syndicate, the superb strategy game from Populous creator Bullfrog. There was also a controversial and technically experimental FPS called Doom - launched in the December, it's hard to name a more influential shooter in the history of gaming. But Myst was something truly different. While mechanically it stood on the shoulders of the point-and-click pioneers built by Sierra, it was driven more by aesthetics, atmosphere, and tone. Even today, 32 years later, you can identify Myst by a single image. It's been re-launched, remastered, remade, and expanded, but now, thanks to a big new update from developer Cyan, Myst feels like it is finally whole.
