Moss PSVR2 Dev Polyarc Closed After 12 Years of Games

This is sad. I thought those were quite good games for PSVR2.

People always calling for different genres of games but then always expect other people to buy them lol

Really sad to hear. The moss games were some of the PSVR's killer apps. I do hope the devs find a job soon because they were some of the best VR games I have played. Also, I love Quill, she's so adorable lol

Sad to hear it

Yeah that's very sad. Hope these talented devs find work in VR game development elsewhere, although that could be really tough in this market.

It's a weird time for VR at the moment. Commercially it's not doing well but at the same time being a VR gamer has never been better with the recent onslaught of VR mods for flat games. Well on PCVR at least...

That's a shame.

How disappointing. I really enjoyed Moss in the PSVR infancy.

Extremely sad. Moss is adorable, and I loved it when I played it back on the PSVR. A genuinely talented team, working in an incredibly niche market. Wish them all the best.

Aw man, that's really depressing, both Moss games are excellent.

I'm glad they were able to release a non-VR version of both Moss games so people that either don't have vr or can't play vr can still experience them.

@GamingGod Yup, we see it time, time and time again.

That is a great shame. Moss 1 was a nice little game, and I’ve heard its sequel was just as good. Hope those effected will find work elsewhere.

Sad to hear but hopefully the find jobs quickly as there talent is obvious to see.

My wife an daughter just finished the non-VR versions of Moss. Sad.

Nooooo they just ported to switch 2! Sorry to hear that. Hope the devs land on their feet.

Another studio that committed suicide by live service. I have yet to play one of their games. Too bad it stayed in the VR jail for so long.

Sad to hear since Moss was very charming. VR gaming is in very bad shape and a lot of the top dogs are out of business now.

Well that's a shame, their first game was my real experience of using the PSVR headset back then, it was a solid game.

The Moss games in VR are stunning. Would have bought another VR game from them day one

I knew this was coming, but damn does this still hit hard. Absolutely love Moss 1 and 2.

This is heartbreaking, Moss was one of the games that got me into VR, and they were clearly a talented developer.

I had a feeling that the end was nigh for them when they released the non-VR versions of Moss. That always felt like a last-ditch effort to save the studio from closure. Doesn't sting any less seeing it actually happen though.

Guess I better grab The Forgotten Relic soon!

Dang. Here I was hoping for a Moss: The Forgotten Relic physical disc. :-/

Oh, man. This one actually hurts. I'm just glad I did my part.

:/

What do you expect when the maker of the PSVR2 doesn't give a sh*t about the actual format itself?

Such a shame. Platinumed them on PSVR and bought them again for PSVR2 in hope that we'd get a 3rd entry

Never had psvr 1 or 2 so never bought the vr versions, I did however buy the non vr versions recently.

Only played book 1 so far but it was very good. I'll play book 2 soon.

Such a shame that these smaller studio's seem to be closing on a monthly basis. Innovation and unique smaller experiences may soon be a thing of the past

Glad they were able to release the non-VR version of the two games, which I actually did buy (haven’t had time to play yet) on Switch 2.

It’s a shame, but sadly no matter how acclaimed a VR game is…you still have to hope someone drops the cash on the completely optional VR hardware AND your game as well.

I hope they all find positions elsewhere and keep making good stuff.

Damn, I was looking forward to Moss "3" on PSVR 2...

@Sunraku valve isn’t expecting the frame to sell millions of headsets. They are selling it above the cost to actually make it. The frame is essentially a limited run collectors item and will be priced accordingly. Valve has bo interest in saving vr

Damn that’s so sad to read.

One of the few VR games (including Half Life Alyx, Stormland, and Astro Bot), that I actually loved playing.

VR will never break free of being a niche, if even the few GREAT games, can't move the needle.

Really sad and wish all the best for their futures.

Most of these announcements are about the big boys and somehow it hits home this one.

VR has been a poison on the industry. There are some really good games that have come from it and as cool as it is, so many studio's have been shut down or had to close because of it.

Guess as they shouldn't have sunk money into live service

I hope the developers land on their feet. I never tried their other stuff but the Mosses are engaging, beautiful platformers.

@GamingGod

Got both for the first PSVR and bought the new non-VR release at launch. It is important to vote with our wallets. There are games that you just don't wait for a sale if you have the means to support right at launch. Slitterhead also comes to mind.

Please, everyone, support unique games. Buy Promise Mascot Agency, Slitterhead, give a chance to gems like Nikoderiko if you are into DK Country style of platformers.

If you like what a developer or publisher is doing it, help them out. For example, I love what Microids is doing. Not all of their catalogue is great but not a year go by without a couple of bangers from them (not AAA bangers, but I like jank when it comes with heart)

Very sad. They did or didn't end up releasing Moss on other platforms, so they opened up platform availability for them and still closing? That's sad.

Oh well, wish them the best elsewhere or whatever their staff plan to do.

They had the chance to be the PS mascot like Astro bot, i wished MOSS create a platform game.

I do not know how to put into words how sad I am that this developer is closing.
I am so sorry that this is happening......That is as close as I can come to words that describe how I feel.

VR is doomed. Loved Moss 1 & 2. Very fun & charming games.

This is the worst thing in history to ever happen on September 11th.
