Award-winning Bloober Team game — The Medium — coming to Apple’s Mac later this summer

16 February 2023

Bloober Team announced their psychological horror game The Medium, available later this summer, will run natively on every Apple silicon-powered Mac.

The Medium is the biggest and most ambitious game to date from Polish horror studio Bloober Team. First launched in 2021, it’s a third-person psychological horror game that features dual-reality gameplay that plays out across two separate worlds displayed at the same time.

The game is set in the late ‘90s following Marianne, a psychic investigating the abandoned Hotel Niwa in search of answers about her past. The Medium allows players to explore the physical world and the spirit world simultaneously, and use the interactions between them to solve dual-reality puzzles, unlock new paths, and awaken memories of past events. The spirit world is a dark mirror reflection of our reality, and it has been modeled and designed under the inspiration of Polish dystopian surrealist, Zdzisław Beksiński’s paintings. The incredible visuals were enhanced by the original soundtrack co-composed by Arkadiusz Reikowski and Akira Yamaoka.

The Medium takes full advantage of Metal — software that powers hardware-accelerated graphics on Apple platforms — resulting in smooth and responsive gameplay with high frame rates and stunning visuals. Combined with the game-changing performance of Apple silicon and power of macOS, the Mac lineup delivers an incredible gaming experience. Users can play The Medium with ease on any Mac with Apple silicon—from the incredible desktop lineup of Mac mini, iMac and Mac Studio to powerful Mac laptops of MacBook Air and Macbook Pro.

“We are extremely excited The Medium is coming to the Mac, leveraging Metal and Apple silicon, to render atmospheric visuals and jaw dropping details with outstanding performance. We are thrilled with how the Apple silicon Mac lineup handles both Medium worlds with ease — the spirit and the real one — and we can’t wait for gamers to play The Medium on Mac!”

- said Piotr Babieno, The CEO of Bloober Team.
