This morning, a new branch appeared (for the first time ever) on SteamDB for No Man's Sky, named "bejryy". It is being discussed in the Discord that a Caesar cypher decodes this string to "Orwell."
We await the macOS release of #NoMansSky that was featured at WWDC 2022. (A forthcoming iOS version of the game was also mentioned by Apple at the event.)
The Mac was released in 1984, along with the famed, Orwellian "1984" commercial.
Apple is expected to reveal its mixed-reality AR/VR goggles at WWDC 2023 on June 5.
Apple is putting a great deal of weight behind the AR/VR goggles as a big, new product line.
No Man's Sky on PC and PS5 is considered to be one of the best VR-capable titles out there.
Could the delay of the macOS version of NMS be due to Apple and Hello Games aligning it to be a huge, day 1 outing for Apple VR?
@coreyh2 Most of the games that are out there have not been ported natively to Apple's ARM-based Silicon. They run using Apple's Rosetta 2 technology, which is an Ahead Of Time (AOT) cross-compiler that generates an ARM version of the x64 binary on first run. Given the nature of the technology, it is not nearly as optimized as would be a true port.
Even still, many (most?) of the games for Intel-based Macs ran faster on the M1 systems when they were first released, than natively on the fastest available Intel Macs, quite notably.
I'm unsure what has been ported natively. (I don't game on the Mac, really.)
