Some of the most beloved and acclaimed VR games are coming to flatscreen PC and consoles this summer, as Polyarc has announced Moss: The Forgotten Relic.
Moss: The Forgotten Relic is an all-in-one collection of Moss, Moss: Book II and the Twilight Garden DLC, adapted and enhanced to be payable on PC and consoles without needing a VR headset.
It will be launching across PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 1 and 2 this summer.
This is great news for getting more people to experience this charming adventure, especially as the market shifts away from virtual reality gaming, consigning it to be a niche interest. Moss was a game that already took a light touch with its virtual reality dynamics, a puzzle platformer presenting you with interactive diorama-like scenes to guide your mouse hero through and to reach into with sight and motion controls. Some elements will need to be reworked and adapted for flatscreen and pure controller play,
Looking back on the original’s 2018 release for PSVR, Jim said, “Moss is an absolute joy to play, proving that a great VR experience doesn’t always require that you flail your arms around while fending off bouts of motion sickness. It’s a wonderfully realised puzzle platformer with clever twists, beautiful backdrops, and an adorable hero, making PlayStation VR even more tempting for prospective buyers.”

Absolutely! It’s great to see games like Moss reaching a wider audience. The storytelling and visuals are truly captivating, and I think the transition to flatscreen will allow even more players to experience its charm.
Absolutely agree! The storytelling and visuals in Moss really create an immersive experience, and it’s exciting that more players can now enjoy that magic. Plus, the transition to flatscreen might even allow for new gameplay mechanics that weren’t possible in VR.
I completely agree! The way Moss blends its narrative with the environment makes it truly unique. It’s interesting to see how the charm of the game translates to flatscreen, allowing even more players to experience Quill’s adventure.
