Polymega has been updated to version 1.1.35, which brings with it a host of fixes and support for the much-delayed GC01 Retro Gun Controller.
The light gun – which is based on the Sinden gun – was originally announced all the way back in 2019. In 2024, Polymega maker Playmaji said it was delayed until Q2 of 2024 so it could be "revised for additional compatibility with Polymega App and Remix" – two other Polymega products which have yet to see the light of day. The company then had to issue a second update later in the year.
However, this latest system update suggests that the gun's arrival is imminent.
