Highway Games Market Share Analysis for June 2026

Polaris Chord is a Rhythym Game themed about the player being an intern at a TV station called SHIBA TV, who works with the GABLYRIC's crew to recruit characters called "Contenters" to create video content. The controller in the cabinet consists of a keyboard with 12 physical keys, and two faders behind the keyboard. There are two monitors: a touch panel monitor, and another monitor which is used to display music videos during gameplay, and reactions of the Contenters during the results. The cabinet also includes a headphone jack terminal on its left side. Characters will play a major role in this new arcade rhythm game. The player will choose a Contenter as the main character and four Support Snap characters, whose skills will provide various assists during gameplay. Characters will gain experience and eventually level up as the player deploys them in gameplay stages. Contenters will also have an additional affection level that will gradually change their behaviors. Game Modes There are three separate game modes: BEGINNER : only two songs, and can only play up to HARD difficulty. Can fail out. BASIC : play three songs without rating restrictions. Requires KONAMI's digital currency service PASELI. Cannot fail out early. TIMER : play with a set amount of time. Options are four, six, eight, and 12 minutes. Cannot fail out early. Gameplay Players have to form a unit using the Contenters that can be obtained through gacha, each one with different abilites that affect scores and the life gauge. During gameplay, press the keys while the scrolling notes, from the back to the front, reach the judgement line, located on the lower screen. However, players do not have to hit the specific key on the keyboard to match the note on the screen. Instead, hitting the key surrounding the scrolling note is sufficient. Upon selecting a song, the player can select from one of five difficulties: EASY, NORMAL, HARD, INFLUENCE, and POLAR. Levels are rated from 1 (easiest) to 13 (hardest). I
