No Man's Sky finally arrives on Mac and IPad

No Man's Sky will also be supporting full cross-save between PC and Mac on Steam. The space adventure game will also be supporting Metal 3 and will utilize the power of Mac's high-speed SSDs. The game will also be utilizing MetalFX Temporal and Spatial Upscaling for better visual fidelity.

"Expect fast loading times using the Mac internal SSD," Hello Games said of the new port. "Consistent performance across the full range of Macs is possible as we are one of the first titles to support MetalFX Upscaling (Temporal and Spatial). Metal 3 support allows No Man's Sky to achieve console quality graphics whilst maintaining battery life on laptops and lower end devices."

Hello Games' foray into Mac gaming is pretty intriguing. No Man's Sky is one of the few AAA titles natively available on the Mac at the moment. Hello Games is releasing the port on Steam first. The studio announced that the game will be available on the Apple Store sometime later.

It will be interesting to see if the studio follows through on its promise to bring the title to IPad later. However, given that Apple's tablets are now powered by M1 and M2 chips, they will likely be capable of handling the title even better than the Nintendo Switch.

No Man's Sky is still growing and has a solid player base on all platforms. Given the game's infamous launch, its success and growth is pretty impressive. Hello Games isn't slowing down its content updates even after seven years. We will likely be getting one or two more big updates later this year bringing even more changes to this ever-evolving space adventure.

No Man's Sky is available on PC, Mac, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
