Pinball FX is a pinball machine video game for the Xbox 360. It was developed by Zen Studios and published by Microsoft Game Studios. It was released on April 25, 2007 via the Xbox Live Arcade service. The game features three tables, with six more available as downloadable content, leaderboards and online multiplayer. A sequel to the game, Pinball FX 2 was released on October 27, 2010.
The game received mixed reviews from critics, with aggregate websites GameRankings and Metacritic reporting scores of 70.56% and 69/100, respectively. Critics generally felt that the physics did well emulating a real pinball machine. Reviewers were divided on opinions of the game's multiplayer, with some calling for splitscreen gameplay, while others appreciated the online multiplayer component. It was a commercial success, selling over 362,000 copies as of July 28, 2010.
Following the release of Pinball FX 2, the game was delisted from Xbox Live Arcade marketplace, and all of the table purchases carry over to Pinball FX 2. However, as the corresponding tables are not available in the Xbox One version of Pinball FX 2, the game is still available as Xbox One backwards compatible title and can be installed if it was purchased earlier.
Pinball FX utilizes the same basic rules as a physical pinball machine, albeit in a virtual environment. As with a traditional pinball machine, the player fires a steel ball onto the playfield using a plunger. Once the ball is in play the player controls the flippers and can nudge the machine to influence the path of the ball.[2] Each of the game's tables become more complex as the game advances, opening new paths and opportunities.[2]
The game allows use of the Xbox Live Vision camera to operate the flippers and to video chat with Xbox Live opponents.[2] It also features leaderboards and online multiplayer for up to four players.[3] Multiplayer games are won by being the first to achieve the set high score, which can be adjusted from 10 to 100 million points. Penalties can also be set for losing a ball with players losing anywhere from 5 to 25 percent of their score when a ball is lost.[2]
In the early 2020s, Zen Studios announced a reboot of the Pinball FX series[21] that would utilize Unreal Engine 4 after the company made a partnership with Epic Games, in lieu of a sequel to Pinball FX 3. After many months following its initial announcenment in 2021, with only a few updates on its developmental status, the game entered early access exclusively on the Epic Games Store on March 31, 2022[22] and is currently scheduled to be released digitally as a free-to-play service on eighth- and ninth-generation consoles, along with Microsoft Windows, on February 16, 2023,[23] with a version for Nintendo Switch coming later into the year.[24]
