Ports of the beloved remakes of Myst and Riven have officially launched on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2. This marks a significant moment for fans of the iconic adventure series, as these titles make their debut on the PlayStation ecosystem after previously being available on PC VR through Steam and Meta’s headsets.
Immersive Gameplay Experience
The remakes of Myst, which first captivated audiences in 1993, and its sequel Riven, released in 1997, are now fully playable on both flat screens and in virtual reality. The original Myst held the title of the best-selling PC game for nearly a decade, shaping the landscape of PC gaming in the ’90s.

With the remakes now available in VR, players can engage with these classic worlds in a way that enhances their depth and interactivity.
Both titles are currently available for purchase on the PlayStation Store at a price of .99 each. A comprehensive review of their performance on PlayStation VR2 is forthcoming, promising to offer insights into how these remakes translate to the new platform.
