Pinball FX 3 is a pinball simulator video game for Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. It is a continuation of Zen Studios' pinball series, which includes Pinball FX 2 and Zen Pinball 2.
Gameplay
Pinball FX 3 allows players to play one of several simulated pinball tables, and includes online scoreboard support for informal competition with other players.. The game is aimed to provide a more engaging multiplayer experience than previous titles; the game will provide support for asynchronous competitive multiplayer options, and tournament-style play.[1] There will be shared leaderboards and multiplayer options between PlayStation 4 and users playing through Steam on Windows, and similarly shared options for Xbox One players with both Steam and Windows 10 users.[2]
Development
Zen's prior games have been split across consoles. The Pinball FX games typically have been for the Xbox 360 and Windows platform, while the Zen Pinball was for the PlayStation 3. Pinball FX 3 will be a single title for all three platforms and for future games in the series. Zen has stated that a "majority" of the previous downloadable content pinball tables that a player has purchased for either Pinball FX 2 or Zen Pinball 2 will be available in Pinball FX 3 at no cost; Zen cited issues with licensing that prevents some tables from being brought to the new version.[1] Zen Studios has affirmed that more than fifty tables will carry over, with only about half a dozen that will not.[2]
Pinball FX 3 launched with three new tables based on movie properties from Universal Pictures that includes E.T. the Extra-Terrestial, Back to the Future, and Jaws. Additional tables are in development with new intellectual property holders.[3][2]
