BioShock Remastered Headed to macOS

Although mediocre reviews over its stability are prevalent on PC, Feral Interactive fired over a press release today announcing plans to bring BioShock Remastered to Apple’s macOS (formerly OS X) operating system. Hopefully it’s more stable there, as higher resolution textures, modern resolutions, better controller support, and more await you in Rapture:

Return to Rapture: BioShock Remastered coming to macOS later this year

Feral Interactive today announced that BioShock™ Remastered, a version of the ground-breaking first-person shooter running in 1080p, will be released for macOS later this year to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the game’s original release. Originally developed by Irrational Games and published by 2K for Windows and console, BioShock is set in the decaying underwater city of Rapture, a darkly imaginative and brilliantly realised gameworld.

Set in an alternative 1960, BioShock Remastered plunges players into Rapture, an individualistic utopia gone badly wrong. To survive the onslaughts of the city’s deranged inhabitants, players must rewrite their own genetic codes, and find creative ways to combine their terrifying new powers with devastating weapons. With a thought-provoking storyline, BioShock is at once beautiful, thrilling and frightening, and explores profound ideas about science, politics and human nature.

“We’re thrilled to bring an enhanced version of BioShock to macOS 10 years after its original release,” said David Stephen, Managing Director of Feral Interactive. “The improved graphics make the most of the spectacular art direction, combining art deco design, science fiction themes, and a horror sensibility. There’s never been a better time to visit Rapture.”

BioShock Remastered will be available as a full game (not an update) from the Feral Store, Steam and the Mac App Store.

System requirements and pricing will be confirmed closer to release.
