As a reminder, Moss and even Moss: Book I each released first on PS VR before hitting other VR platforms, so it was only fitting to see the brave Quill sneaking up on Sony again. Better than a simple act of presence, Moss and Moss: Book I both rely on PlayStation VR2 technology to enhance immersion, including haptic feedback (hands and head) and eye tracking. “Interactive objects now emit a subtle glow when viewed. This allows players to quickly spot interactive objects during puzzles and throughout play. Eye tracking also lets Quill know where players are looking so she can give them clues if she figures something out before them.“, we are told.
The realization also promises to take a leap forward while the ergonomics will probably have nothing to do with the experience of the first PS VR thanks to the two Sense controllers and their adaptive triggers. Switching to PS VR2, Moss and Moss: Book I will shoot in 4K and 90 frames with an increased field of view and the use of foveal rendering, a technique that optimizes image quality where the player is looking. A small visual comparison has been provided below.

“Since we learned about the existence of the PS VR2 hardware and got our hands on it earlier this year, we’ve been experimenting with its new technological features and perfecting ways to increase players’ immersion in the world of Moss. At the same time, the team was able to bring even more visual detail to each character and environment with lighting and texture enhancements that bring out the already stunning environments on PS VR2 platforms even more.“says Doug Burton of Polyarc.
While some PS VR games will upgrade to PS VR2 at no additional cost, unfortunately this will not be the case for Moss and Moss: Book I, which will be sold for 26.99 euros each on PS VR2, knowing that a bundle will be offered at a price of 38.99 euros. Recall that among the other titles confirmed at the launch of PS VR2 are Horizon Call of the Mountain, The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR, After the Fall, Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge and No Man’s Sky.
