UploadVR • • technology
Key Points:
- Polyarc Games, known for the acclaimed Moss VR series, has permanently closed after nearly 12 years, as confirmed in a LinkedIn post announcing the end of active development and farewells among staff.
- The studio previously underwent significant layoffs in March 2024, cutting two-thirds of its team, signaling financial struggles prior to the closure.
- The Moss franchise, including Moss VR and Moss 2 VR, received widespread critical acclaim and numerous awards, establishing a strong reputation for quality VR game design.
- Polyarc's recent releases, such as the PvP strategy game Glassbreakers: Champions of Moss and the flatscreen port Moss: The Forgotten Relic, failed to achieve the commercial success needed to sustain the studio.
- Despite Moss: The Forgotten Relic generating over 200,000 wishlists before its July release, sales were insufficient to keep Polyarc operational, leading to the studio's shutdown.
