Pinball FX, the long anticipated reboot of Hungarian developer Zen Studios’ acclaimed pinball series, will finally launch on PS5 and PS4 in February – and it’s bringing Gearbox crossover content with it. The newly announced Gearbox Pinball pack will include three brand new tables, inspired by Borderlands, Homeworld, and Brothers in Arms. That last one’s a deep cut – after all, there hasn’t been a console entry in the first-person franchise since Hell’s Highway on the PS3.

Even if you’re not interested in the Gearbox Pinball content, the Pinball FX platform sounds fantastic. While it has attracted controversy for not allowing long-time players to import their content, the studio is promising over 70 tables at launch, including original creations, licensed crossovers with the likes of Marvel and Star Wars, and iconic real-life boards from household names like Williams. You’ll be able to access them all with the Pinball Pass, and more additions will arrive regularly.

One neat feature in the new game is that you’ll be able to build your own customisable 3D game room, and decorate it with the collectible items you unlock as you play. Will you be checking out Pinball FX at all, or have you been put off by the inability to import your legacy tables? Tilt your thoughts into the comments section below.
