As with Limbo, Inside is included on multiple lists of the greatest video games of all time as compiled by game journalists. The game was nominated for numerous accolades, including game of the year, and won several independent and technical achievements. Critics noted it as an improvement over Limbo, praising its art direction, atmosphere and gameplay. Inside premiered at Microsoft's E3 2014 conference, with a planned release in 2015, but was delayed to 2016. The game was partially funded by a grant from the Danish Film Institute.

The team switched to Unity to simplify development, adding their own rendering routines, later released as open source, to create a signature look. Playdead began work on Inside shortly after the release of Limbo, using Limbo 's custom game engine.

It is the successor to Playdead's 2010 Limbo, with similar 2.5D gameplay. The player controls a boy in a dystopic world, solving environmental puzzles and avoiding death. A macOS version was released in June 2020. The game was released for iOS in December 2017 and Nintendo Switch in June 2018. Inside is a puzzle-platform game developed and published by Playdead in 2016, and was released on June 29, for Xbox One, Windows, on July 7, and August 23, for PlayStation 4.
