Some games quietly build a reputation over the years, earning loyal fans through word of mouth rather than blockbuster marketing. Moss is one of those games.
Originally released as a PlayStation VR exclusive before expanding to other virtual reality platforms, Quill’s charming adventure is now making an unexpected leap onto traditional consoles. Moss: The Forgotten Relic is available today on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Play Anywhere, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, bundling together the complete saga in one definitive package.
For Xbox players, this marks the first opportunity to experience one of VR’s most celebrated adventures – this time reimagined for a controller.

A Storybook Adventure Finds A New Home
At the heart of Moss: The Forgotten Relic is Quill, an unlikely hero whose bravery far outweighs her size.
Set within a beautifully realised fantasy world, the adventure sees players guide the courageous mouse through forgotten kingdoms reclaimed by nature, solving environmental puzzles, battling arcane enemies and uncovering ancient secrets along the way.
Rather than simply controlling Quill, the game builds its identity around the relationship between player and hero. Quill acknowledges your presence throughout the adventure, creating a partnership that helps distinguish Moss from many traditional action adventures.
The Complete Moss Experience
The Forgotten Relic isn’t merely a port of the original game either.
Instead, it combines Moss, Moss: Book II and the Twilight Garden DLC into one seamless adventure, while also introducing updated visuals, redesigned cinematics and platform-specific enhancements. Accessibility has also been expanded, with features such as an optional combat skip for players who simply want to enjoy the story.
The result is a complete version of Quill’s journey, rebuilt for players who may never have owned a VR headset.
From VR Favourite To Xbox Arrival
One of the biggest questions surrounding Moss has always been whether its magic could survive the transition away from virtual reality.
After spending time with an early preview, we came away pleasantly surprised. We wrote: “Moss: The Forgotten Relic is going to be as polished as its original reviews and plaudits would indicate.“
More importantly, the move to a controller felt surprisingly natural, leaving us eager to see how the full adventure would play outside of VR.
It’s also a game we’ve already highlighted in our Best New Xbox and Game Pass Games for July 2026 feature, underlining just how much anticipation surrounds its arrival.
