The new game combines both Moss and Moss: Book 2 into one unified package that has been reworked for flat screens. It will launch this summer on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.<\/p>\n<p>The Moss series follows a white mouse named Quill on a fantasy adventure contained within a book. The first game was a hit in 2018, racking up award nominations at The Game Awards, The Golden Joystick Awards, and D.I.C.E. A sequel called Moss: Book 2 launched in 2022 and received similar acclaim, winning the award for Best VR\/AR Game at that year&#8217;s Game Awards. Moss: The Forgotten Relic will mark the first time players will be able to experience the series without using a VR headset.<\/p>\n<p>The collection unifies the first two games into one, and also includes Moss&#8217; Twilight Garden DLC. A few things have been tweaked to optimize the game for consoles. The visuals and performance have been enhanced, and there&#8217;s a reworked Smart Follow Camera. The Forgotten Relic will also feature new cutscenes and an accessibility feature that allows players to skip combat.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement comes just over a month after developer Polyarc underwent a &#8220;significant&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uploadvr.com\/moss-developer-polyarc-games-announces-layoffs\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">staff reduction<\/a>. According to former employee Alex Holodak, the studio cut two-thirds of its staff after one of its in-development projects lost its funding in 2025. Polyarc is one of several VR studios to be hit with layoffs, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/meta-layoffs-vr-game-studios-twisted-pixel-sanzaru-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">shuttered entirely<\/a>, in the last year.<\/p>\n<p>Moss: The Forgotten Relic is also the latest example of a dedicated VR developer making a pivot to console games. Vertigo Games recently revealed that it is adapting its VR-exclusive remake of <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/4491360\/The_7th_Guest_Remake\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">The 7th Guest<\/a> into a proper PC and console game, slated to launch on June 4. It&#8217;s a potential sign that the winds are changing in the VR industry as more developers in the space embrace traditional consoles.<\/p>\n<p>Moss: The Forgotten Relic will launch this summer on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-empire-city-vr-game-review\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                        <img width=\"440\" height=\"248\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Donatello of the Ninja Turtles wears a VR headset\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/g7u3cmqa8aaxkm.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/g7u3cmqa8aaxkm.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                    Related<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-empire-city-vr-game-review\/\" title=\"The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game is the best TMNT game in years\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t\tThe new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game is the best TMNT game in years<br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">As Michelangelo once said, \u201cGod, I love being a Turtle!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The VR-exclusive Moss series is making its jump to consoles this summer with Moss: The Forgotten Relic.
