On August 26, Myst, one of the most famous PC adventure games of all time, will be released through Xbox Game Pass in a freshly reimagined edition created by original independent company Cyan.

While this new edition of Myst will also be available on PC and Mac (it was already released on Oculus with VR support), Microsoft is highlighting the Xbox version today by confirming that it will support AMD’s spatial upscaling technology, FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), for improved performance.

Thanks to FSR, Myst can run in 4K/60 FPS on Xbox Series X consoles, according to Cyan’s marketing and brand manager Jeff Lanctot. FSR also helps the Xbox Series S version of Myst, allowing for a 1440p/60 FPS experience.

“We use FSR to efficiently reduce the game’s screen percentage in the background, then use the super sampling technique to sharpen the image,” Lanctot said.

“There are some small changes in how the game appears at native 4K resolution without screen percentage modifications, but generally, FSR improves performance by almost 75% on Xbox Series X|S on a 4K monitor without losing much visual fidelity.”

Cyan has provided full-sized comparison pictures of Myst with and without FidelityFX Super Resolution enabled. According to Lanctot, the game’s graphic quality seems to be unaffected.

Welcome to Myst, a stunningly gorgeous island laced with eeriness and steeped in mystery. Travel to Myst Island and other beautiful, long-dormant places known as “Ages” to begin unraveling the mystery you’ve been thrown into. As you learn more about what occurred on the island, you’ll discover that you’re a pivotal figure in an epic tale whose conclusion has yet to be written.
