Important Pinball Updates – FAQ
Dear Pinball Fans,
We received multiple questions about the future of certain pinball platforms after our “Important Pinball Updates” announcement. Based on these questions, we created the following FAQ. If you still have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us on our socials, Discord, or support@zenstudios.com.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Will World Cup Soccer be playable in-game after April 30?
Yes. If you purchase World Cup Soccer by April 30 in any of our games, the table will be available for you after April 30 without any interruptions.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
I play Pinball FX on Xbox One/PlayStation 4. Can I still play my purchased tables and compete on the leaderboards?
Absolutely! Although future releases will no longer launch on Xbox One/PlayStation 4, currently available tables will remain purchasable in the store (except World Cup Soccer, which will be removed on April 30), and online services such as leaderboards, tournaments, events, and offline play will be unimpacted and remain available. The only other change is that Seasons support will end on June 1, meaning that the currently running “Western Season” is the last one on these two platforms.
