The critically acclaimed Moss duology received a free update, bringing visual and gameplay improvements on Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S headsets today.
Coinciding with the anticipated Meta Quest 3S reveal, developer Polyarc unveiled a host of Quest-specific upgrades coming to both Moss and its sequel, Moss: Book 2. The original game, which was released on the first Meta Quest, hasn't had an upgrade since it launched on the 2019 headset. This update also aligns with today's launch of the Meta Quest 3S headset.
Moss - visual comparison on Quest
According to the developer, Moss has been rendered at 150% of its original resolution on Quest 3 headsets, alongside visual improvements and lighting changes to bring it closer to Moss: Book 2's standard. Not only that, but Polyarc has also added a 'no combat' mode to the game, allowing players to enjoy Quill's adventure as a narrative puzzle experience.
There's no information on any Moss: Book 2 gameplay improvements over the Quest 2 version, so we expect to see minor upgrades over the last-generation title. However, in our review of the sequel, we said that Moss: Book 2 is "another excellent chapter in a wider story for Quill that drives home that familiar feeling that the best is still to come."
Moss and Moss: Book 2 are out now on Quest. Both games are also available on PSVR 2, Pico, and Steam.
