The console was announced in January 2017 as the RetroBlox. It would be produced by RetroBlox, Inc, a Los Angeles-based company founded by Bryan Bernal and Eric Christensen, both former employees at Insomniac Games. Bernal was inspired to create the console after taking a trip to Japan in 2015. There, he purchased numerous PC Engine games, but was disappointed in the number of console modifications needed to make them run on a modern HD television. He sought to create a modernized console capable of playing such games without the need for modifications. The console was initially set to release in early 2018, although it faced several delays.
In May 2017, the console was renamed Polymega, while RetroBlox, Inc would become Playmaji, Inc. Development on the console continued quietly over the next year, before it was shown at E3 2018. Playmaji started taking pre-orders in September 2018, but the console's official website went off-line for several days following high traffic and a DDoS attack.
The hardware design phase was finished in early 2019, although the console's release was expected to be impacted by a supply shortage of 14nm chips. A public beta test phase began in early 2020, and the console's full release would be further delayed to November 2020, due to third-party production issues; an overseas partner, responsible for manufacturing printed circuit boards used in the console, closed in mid-2020. The release was delayed again after communication issues arose with Wal-Mart following a personnel change. As a result, Playmaji canceled pre-orders made through Wal-Mart's website and urged buyers to purchase the console through the Polymega website instead, with the release delayed to February 2021 for those who preordered in 2018 and 2019.
In February 2023, Playmaji announced plans to eventually launch the Polymega App, a free application allowing users to play their saved games on a personal computer. The company also plans to launch a paid subscription service known as Polymega XL, offering additional features for the Polymega App such as cheat codes and cloud access to game libraries. Because modern computers often lack a disc drive, Playmaji intends to release the Polymega Remix, an external disc drive powered by USB that also offers cartridge support.
The Polymega offers compatibility with more than 90 percent of each classic console's game library. It is compatible with regional console variants, playing NTSC, PAL, and Japanese games without patches. The console includes a built-in database of cover art, descriptions, and screenshots for thousands of games. This information is displayed whenever a game is inserted into the console, and is sorted by console and region.
The Polymega can save the contents of any inserted game to its memory, providing a back-up copy and allowing for preservation of physical copies. Game files acquired through Internet downloads cannot be saved to the Polymega, which requires a copy of the original game to do so. A module is no longer required to play a game once its data has been saved to the console. However, it is still required if using the intended classic controllers. The console contains 32 GB, and includes slots for SD cards and M.2 SSD, providing additional storage for archived games.
Playmaji releases periodic system updates for the console, for instance to offer support for previously incompatible games. An update in late 2021 introduced screen filters that can be applied to any game, simulating the monochromatic displays of the Game Boy and Virtual Boy.
Playmaji intends to launch a digital store, allowing games to be downloaded to the console, including arcade games. An internal development and publishing studio was also established for the creation of original games exclusive to the Polymega. Playmaji plans to eventually offer support for cloud gaming services as well.
