Playmaji has announced a price increase for its retro game console, the “Polymega.” Details regarding the new prices, which take effect on October 5 (local time), and the reasons for the increase are explained in detail on the official website.
Price Increase Due to Rising Component and Fuel Costs
According to the announcement on the official website, prices for several “Polymega” products will change effective October 5 (local time). The reasons cited include soaring component prices due to a surge in investment in AI data centers, as well as rising shipping costs caused by soaring fuel prices.
Although the company has strived for many years to shield users from the impact of rising costs, it states that the situation is no longer sustainable, as there is no end in sight to the situation where nearly all costs are rising significantly every month.
New Prices Effective October 5
The announcement states that the new prices, effective October 5 (local time), are as follows. Prices for all other products will remain unchanged.
New Prices Effective October 5, 2026 (local time):
Polymega Base Unit: $599 USD
Polymega Remix: $229 USD
Polymega Element Module Sets: $99 USD or as otherwise specified
Polymega RC-Series Controllers: $35 USD
The company also announced that it is resuming pre-orders today for products scheduled to ship during the 2026 holiday season. Any orders placed before the new prices take effect will be processed at the current prices.
