Moss Developer Polyarc Shuts Down After 12 Years

Polyarc, the Seattle-based developer best known for the virtual reality adventure games Moss and Moss: Book II, has officially shut down. The studio announced the closure on its LinkedIn page, stating that active development has ended and the team is saying farewell after nearly 12 years of creating video games.

Founded in 2015, the studio built its reputation on virtual reality titles. Alongside the Moss series, Polyarc released standard versions of the two games that did not require a headset to play. The company also developed a live service spin-off titled Glassbreakers.

The closure follows financial troubles earlier in the year. In March, Polyarc underwent mass layoffs after failing to secure funding following the cancellation of a major project. Now, the entire company has gone under, bringing an end to the studio's operations.
