Community Update – What’s Coming in Late 2026

Published: October 13, 2026

Hi Pinball Fans,

We wanted to share some exciting pinball news lined up for the rest of 2026. Let’s get right into it!

Chicago Pinball Expo

We’re excited to share that Zen Studios will have a joint booth with X-Arcade at Pinball Expo!

Our friends at X-Arcade will reveal their brand-new controller, Arcade2TV Pinball FX Edition, created in collaboration with Zen Studios and built specifically for pinball. The Pinball FX Edition is a single-player controller focused on the physical feel fans know and love. It is truly the best way to experience Pinball FX VR!

Get behind the controls and experience it for yourself at the Expo.

Find us at Booth 1205 from October 14-17!

Zen Studios Announces Pinball FX Arcade

We’re thrilled to announce Pinball FX Arcade, a new business-to-business pinball platform bringing Zen Studios content to public venues around the world.

The platform enables third-party manufacturers to build virtual pinball machines for arcades, family entertainment centers, barcades, and location-based entertainment venues.

At launch, the content library will include Williams and Bally classics, along with Zen Originals, with additional titles added continuously.

Our launch partner, Bump Pinball, will be the first manufacturer to use the platform commercially. Bump machines will begin appearing in live venues across France and Europe starting in late 2026, with expansion to the United States in early 2027.

We’re dedicated to bringing pinball to more and more players, wherever they enjoy playing games.

More Williams™ Tables Are in the Works

We’re happy to share that more Williams™ Pinball tables are coming this holiday season. We’ll reveal the tables in November, so keep an eye on our social channels for more details.

Judge Dredd™

And yes, Judge Dredd™ is almost here!

The table launches on October 22, and if you’re heading to the Pinball Expo, make sure to stop by the X-Arcade booth for your first chance to play it.

You can also check out our brand-new VR trailer for a closer look at the table in action.

In our previous Pinball Bites episode, we mentioned that we’re getting closer to implementing cross-entitlement for Pinball FX and Pinball FX Midnight on Steam, similar to other platforms. We’re aiming to introduce this feature on October 22, making cross-entitlement possible for Judge Dredd™ on Steam as well. More details coming soon!

Also, there are only 2 days left to enter the Judge Dredd™ giveaway! If you haven’t entered yet, follow the Pinball FX page on Twitter and repost our tweet to win one of five game codes on the platform of your choice.
