A few weeks ago now, a game announced at WWDC 2022 finally arrived on Mac: No Man’s Sky. We originally intended to offer you a complete technical test of this game, because as the title dates from 2016 on other platforms, there is not much to say regarding the content. But No Man’s Sky, sold for €59 on Steamhas two problems.
The first is simple: it does not include a solution to test performance in a reproducible way and the very concept of the game, which consists of visiting procedurally generated planets, therefore makes comparisons difficult. The second is related to Intel Macs: performance is extremely poor.
A Mac mini M1 is enough to achieve over 30 fps at 1080p.
On Apple Silicon Macs, the game performs quite decently, with support for MetalFX. It is therefore possible to play in 1080p with the high settings at more than 100 fps on a MacBook Pro equipped with an M1 Max chip. Even a simple Mac mini M1 can reach around thirty images per second in 1080p by lowering the details a little.
