What’s this, a Psychonauts PC update? And a Mac version? Score!

30 September 2011

Well, this is kind of unexpected.

Double Fine has released an update for the Steam version of Psychonauts, adding achievements, cloud saves, and some tweaks to the game’s notoriously brutal Meat Circus sequence.

Just, like, totally out of nowhere, and more than six years after its launch.

“We are really excited to finally be answering fans’ requests for a more difficult Meat Circus,” said Double Fine prez and ha-ha-just-joker, Tim Schafer.

But wait, there’s more.

It turns out that a Mac port has been in the works, and has now been released alongside the update, available from Steam as well as the Mac App Store.

There’s also a freebie iOS Psychonauts Vault Viewer app to go with it, featuring all of the game’s Memory Vault content with commentary from Schafer and co-creator and Scott Campbell.

The game originally launched on PC, PlayStation 2 and Xbox back in 2005, and became an instant cult classic.

Now how about an Xbox LIVE Arcade / PlayStation Network release, huh?
