About the game:

In 2016, Llamasoft announced a game called Polybius for the PlayStation 4 with support for the PlayStation VR. Polybius was added on the PlayStation store on Tuesday May 9, 2017. In early marketing, co-author Jeff Minter claimed to have been permitted to play the original Polybius arcade machine in a warehouse in Basingstoke. He later more realistically stated that the game was inspired by the urban legend, but does not attempt to reproduce its alleged gameplay. He said it was instead based on his interest in the ability of video games to induce the psychological state of flow (also called "being in the zone") and his own observations of positive psychological effects as a result of playing VR games, most notably the unreleased VR version of TxK. Minter also cited influence from multiple other classic games including Space Harrier, After Burner, the 1983 vector game Star Wars, S.T.U.N. Runner, and Zarch.

Llamasoft's Polybius is a fast 3D shooting game with racing elements. The game's play was designed to minimize Virtual reality sickness[23] by the use of continuous forward motion with limited abrupt changes, and no interruptions to gameplay other than controlled breaks at the end of each level; however, the game does include intense visuals. Although designed as a VR game, Polybius is fully playable in 2D on a standard PlayStation 4, and also includes support for 3D television output.

Metro awarded Polybius 9/10, calling it "one of the definitive action games of the current generation". Eurogamer awarded it a Recommended trophy, and stated "it is magical".

On July 13, 2017, the industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails released a music video for the song "Less Than", featuring a woman playing this game. Llamasoft later described the version of the game used in the video, a custom build running on the PC with user configurable effect sequencing.
