Developer Zen Studios announced Pinball FX will launch for the Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via the Epic Games Store in 2021.

Here is an overview of the game:

Zen’s most ambitious pinball project to date, Pinball FX will introduce Pinball Royale, a new multiplayer action mode incorporating frantic battle royale-style gameplay. The game will also feature new challenge modes, a clan system, enhanced visuals, and more. Leagues, tournaments and competitive play are being revamped to bring the community together in unique ways, and new live events and seasonal content will mean there’s always something exciting going on. In addition, Zen will introduce original tables featuring brand-new IPs set to be revealed as launch approaches.

The Pinball FX series first launched in 2007 on Xbox LIVE Arcade and has become the No. 1 brand in digital pinball with an extensive library of pinball tables based on Marvel, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, DOOM, Williams Bally, Family Guy, and more. At the heart of the franchise is an amazing community of passionate players, whose input, ideas and contributions have helped shape the Pinball FX experience for nearly 15 years.

I am confused. Currently I play Pinball FX 3 on Switch and now I can downgrade to FX? It seems a new engine. I am confused with the naming at Zen.

It's not a downgrade, it's definitely an upgrade. Still, I would be hard pressed to buy it again on Switch if I were you. I mean you already have PBFX3 on it. I'm not sure if newer tables will release on that format though. I'm shocked that PS4 and Xbox One was left out, yet it's getting released on Switch.

I guess the tables must've sold well on Switch. If they keep the model that they sell individual tables, I could buy only new ones on Pinball FX.

The tables sold very well on PS4 as well. I'm not sure about Xbox One, although I have tables there as well. I couldn't triple dip for Switch unfortunately. Anyway, if you love pinball, then yeah go for it.

Love Zen Pinball! Those are my guys over there. Definitely supporting them. Even though this time, transferring your tables isn't a thing anymore. You'll have to pay this time due to them completely revamping every single table with the new Unreal 5 engine. Seems interesting.

I own around 80 tables the least they could do is give us a discount.

They said they would. It was on the vid they just dropped. The Pinball Show or something.
