If you missed the Moss games when they were PS VR exclusives, Thursday is your second chance. Moss: The Forgotten Relic — developer Polyarc’s all-in-one reimagining of both Moss and Moss: Book II — launches on 16 July 2026 for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam at US$19.99 (roughly S$27).
What Is Moss: The Forgotten Relic?
Moss (2018) and Moss: Book II (2022) were among the highest-rated PlayStation VR titles of their generation, collecting over 160 awards and nominations between them. They starred Quill, a small but determined mouse hero, and leaned hard into the “Twofold” mechanic: you simultaneously control Quill through the storybook world and play “the Reader,” a guardian spirit who physically interacts with the environment — rotating platforms, clearing obstacles, nudging enemies — from an overhead perspective. The result was an adventure that felt uniquely intimate in VR.
The Forgotten Relic collects both titles — plus the Twilight Garden DLC — into a single release. Buying one game now gets you the entire Quill story arc. At roughly S$27 for the complete package, that is a reasonable ask even if you have no nostalgia for the originals.
From VR to Everyone’s Living Room
Adapting a first-person VR game for a flatscreen is a non-trivial problem: the physical sense of peering into a tiny diorama world is exactly what made Moss work. Polyarc has rebuilt the camera system entirely for flatscreen play — replacing the fixed VR viewpoint with a new “Smart Follow” system designed to keep Quill readable and the environments cinematic on a TV or laptop screen.
New cutscenes have been crafted specifically for this version, and controls have been reworked for conventional gamepads. Visuals are enhanced across the board. If you own the original Moss on Steam or PS VR, note that The Forgotten Relic is a separate purchase — not a patch to existing library copies.
What Exactly Is in the Package?
- Moss — the original storybook adventure through the Forgotten Forest and beyond
- Moss: Book II — the sequel that expanded Quill’s world with new factions, mechanics, and a darker tone
- Twilight Garden DLC — previously a PS VR exclusive bonus chapter, now bundled in
An optional “skip combat” accessibility feature is also included — a welcome addition that lets players who are here for the puzzles and story move through fights without getting stuck.
Where Singapore Gamers Can Pick It Up
Moss: The Forgotten Relic will be available digitally from 16 July across the PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop, Xbox Store, and Steam at US$19.99 (approximately S$27 — your storefront will show the local converted price). The PC version is also Steam Deck Verified. No physical edition has been announced. If you are on the fence, a free demo is already live on Steam so you can sample the opening chapter before committing.
“For a long time, we’ve wanted more people to have the chance to experience Quill’s story,” Polyarc said when the game was announced. With two full games, the DLC, enhanced visuals, and a reworked camera all in one download at under S$30, that goal looks well within reach. Check out more game releases and news on GameTrader.
