The 2 best VR games ever are just as good on PS5, Xbox, and PC

The two best virtual reality games ever made have finally escaped their headset prison. Moss and its sequel, Moss: Book II, are now available as standard flat-screen games on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The transition is surprisingly seamless, proving that great game design does not need a VR headset to work.

Originally built exclusively for VR platforms like PlayStation VR and PC VR headsets, the Moss series follows a tiny mouse named Quill on a storybook adventure. Players control Quill through lush, diorama-like levels while also interacting with the environment as a mysterious reader. The games were praised for their emotional storytelling, clever puzzles, and charming art style. Many called them the gold standard for VR gaming.

Now, without the goggles, the core experience holds up. The camera has been reworked to work with a standard controller, and the puzzles have been adjusted to remove the need for hand tracking. The result is a polished action-adventure game that feels right at home on a TV or monitor. The combat is simple but satisfying, and the world remains one of the most beautiful in recent memory.

For players who missed the VR era, this is the perfect chance to see what the fuss was about. Both games are sold together in a bundle or separately. Whether you play on a big screen or a handheld, Quill's journey is still worth taking.
