Cytus Lambda (styled as Cytus λ) is the PlayStation Mobile version of the original Cytus. It is currently released only for PlayStation Vita and formerly PlayStation Mobile certified devices.
On June 7, 2013, the Cytus team uploaded a video on YouTube containing a teaser for their upcoming PS Vita port of Cytus, entitled Cytus Lambda. Gameplay and such are similar from the original Cytus, except for the new title screen and ten songs. Only Chapter 1 is free on this version of Cytus. It was released in June 26, 2013. It was discontinued in mid/late 2014 due to low demands of the PlayStation Mobile Store.
