Pinball FX3 will fire to the PlayStation 4 this summer, replacing Zen Pinball 2 as the home of Zen Studios’ fan-flippin’-tastic fantasy tabletop series. The game’s promising a wealth of new features and functions, though before we get into those it’s worth pointing out that the “majority” of your legacy table purchases will be importable into the new release for free. Unfortunately, the company doesn’t have the licenses for every surface, so a “handful” will sadly get left behind.
Nevertheless, here’s the elevator pitch: “Built around multiplayer-matchups, user-generated tournaments, and league play, Pinball FX3 is now so much more than just leaderboard rankings – the game elevates the competitive pinball spirit that has thrived since the early days of pinball more than a century ago.” Don’t worry if you’re not a fan of multiplayer, though: the developer’s also promising a robust single player suite which aims to make you a better flipper overall.
There’ll be new content launching day one alongside the title, including “some amazing properties from a brand new partner”. We wonder who it could be?

Sounds like it's going to be a meaningful step forward. Looking forward to it.
wish it was coming to vita as well. I love playing zen pinball 2 portably.
I have every table on PS4. I not that good but enjoy pinball. I started on pinball machines long before we even had video games. Loved that Zen Pinball even upgraded PS3 games to PS4 FREE. They have my full support just for that alone.

The VR version is FX2...what happens there?
@lacerz They have said they are keeping it separate but that may change in the future. They also said they have taken a break from VR to focus on FX3. A bit disappointing, as I think FX2 VR is some of their best work to date. I was really looking forward to getting some of the good tables in VR, but it looks like we will be waiting for quite some time.
Can we keep on playing Zen pinball 2! I have it on Ps4 and Vita. Be well annoyed after buying most of the tables and it stops working cos of new version.
I think they might have some kind of deal with stern pinball. I need to ask someone...
I'll be interested to see what comes of this.
If Jersey Jack pinball are on board I'll be all over this!
