Update 23rd Feb:

The Linux version is now live in the 2026_Update branch. As before let us know if there are issues with this version.

There is currently no new Mac version. Last year Apple removed support for 32 bit apps, MM was built targeting the 32 bit version of OSX.

Many of the third party libraries and tools we used to build the game are no longer supported, so there's no 64 bit version of them. To create a 64 bit version we'd need to replace these libraries and upgrade the version of Unity we're using. Both of these changes can create a lot of work and have unintended knock-ons to how the game functions and plays.

That said, we’re continuing to explore how feasible an upgrade would be and will keep you posted as we learn more.
