5 big new PlayStation Store releases you need to check out this week

This week, PlayStation Store welcomes an unlikely hero. Become a part of Quill’s adventure in Moss, where a brave little mouse sets off on a mission to save her uncle. Assuming control of a helpful spirit, you can see Quill’s world in ways her size doesn’t permit, allowing you to guide her through the perilous quest.

Elsewhere, Detention is a dystopian side-scrolling horror inspired by the martial law of 1960s Taiwan, while Gravel is the ultimate off-road fest for motorsport fans, RiftStar Raiders invokes the golden age of Japanese arcade games in a fast paced co-op shoot ’em up, and De Blob 2 is ready to splash some colour on your TV screen in a shiny new remaster.

1. Moss VR

Quill is an adorable young mouse, small in size but big of heart. One day as she explores the woods, she stumbles upon a mysterious stone and inadvertently awakens an ancient magic — and with it, a distant evil. This is the start of her epic journey, but she won’t be alone. Accompany Quill on her quest and explore forgotten realms, solve challenging puzzles and battle menacing enemies.

Why you should play it: Become the benevolent in-world spirit helping Quill with her adventure — will you stand by her side?
