Moss Studio Polyarc Announces Significant Layoffs After Funding Falls Through

The cuts reflect a failed funding search following a canceled project.

Overview

  • Polyarc said it is cutting staff across the company after it could not secure new financing once a major project was canceled.
  • The studio did not disclose how many jobs were cut, and former staff posted public notes mourning the loss of a close team.
  • Polyarc said it will share a spreadsheet to help affected colleagues connect with recruiters and hiring managers.
  • The developer is best known for the Moss VR games, with its latest title, Glassbreakers: Champions of Moss, launching in November 2025 on Quest, SteamVR, and Apple Vision Pro.
  • Coverage places the move within a broader VR pullback, citing cuts at Meta’s Reality Labs and recent studio closures that have made funding and platform support harder to secure.
