VR exclusives Moss and GORN both sold over 1 million copies

In the gaming industry, the gold standard for a successful game typically rests at 1 million copies sold. This is even more so applicable to VR titles which have a significantly smaller install base. Even so, a few select games have hit this major milestone, with two new titles joining the exclusive club of 1 million-sellers.

Moss and GORN, two VR exclusive titles, have now both officially sold over 1 million copies each as reported by RoadtoVR. Moss is a game which “combines classic components of a great game—compelling characters, gripping combat, and captivating world exploration—with the exciting opportunities of VR”. Offering a storybook-like presentation, the game proved to be successful enough to warrant a second entry (which was recently announced at the most recent State of Play). With the game officially selling over 1 million copies, it now makes sense as to why.

GORN is an arena-based gladiator-style game, which while it perhaps offers less story and substance than a game like Moss, offers a purely fun experience of fighting enemies in an arena using medieval weaponry.

GORN and Moss offer wholly different experiences, and yet both of them utilise VR in a way which showcases the potential of the ever-growing platform. GORN and Moss now join a small list of VR-exclusive games which have surpassed 1 million copies sold, including Job Simulator and Beat Saber – the latter of which has sold over 4 million copies.

The VR market is continuing to show steady growth, and it will be interesting to see just how big the market is 5 years from now.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
