We already kinda knew this was happening, but it’s now official. Developer Cyan Worlds has announced its remakes of Myst and Riven are coming very soon to PS5.
This pair of stone cold classics will be available from 19th May 2026, and you can wishlist them now on PS Store.
Originally released for PS1 and PC in the 90s, Myst and Riven are seminal first-person puzzle games developed by Cyan Worlds. The very same studio has remade both of these titles in 2021 and 2024 respectively.
With modern controls and visuals, the games look and play better than ever, and on PS5 they both come pretty fully featured.
First off, they fully support PSVR2; you’ll be able to play these titles on your TV or with Sony’s headset.
On top of that, they’re both PS5 Pro Enhanced, with the more powerful console bumping up the graphical fidelity and, when playing in VR, increasing the base resolution.
Myst and Riven also feature ray traced reflections on both PS5 and PS5 Pro. Enabling them reduces the frame rate to 30 frames-per-second, or you can toggle them off for a smoother 60.
Finally, this pair of puzzle adventures can be added to the list of games that support PS5’s Power Saver feature, reducing the energy required to run them by scaling back performance.
The games will set you back $34.99 each. A UK price isn’t shared, but we presume it’ll translate to £29.99.
