First of all, we’d like to thank you all for your feedback on our announcement of the Xbox One version of Pinball FX2. We cannot underestimate the importance of your support, insight, and yes, even criticism regarding our projects.

We have a few announcements to make affecting Pinball FX2 fans and particularly the Xbox One version of the game.

Microsoft and Zen Studios have taken your feedback to heart, and seeing that many of you were very upset with the news that table transfers between Xbox 360 and Xbox One would not be happening, we have some good news for you! We will be able to implement table transfers on Xbox One starting from Pinball FX2’s launch. Any available table on Xbox One that was previously purchased for Xbox 360 can be imported to the new version free of charge.

However, as this process will take a bit more development time for the game, Pinball FX2 version of Xbox One will see a slight delay from its original release date this week to sometime in August. We apologize to any fans affected by this delay, but we pledge to make it up to you by incorporating this highly desired feature.

Once again, we cannot thank you enough for your support through this process, as well as Microsoft’s, who took your feedback very seriously and worked with us to implement this feature. And again, we do apologize for the delay while we create the Pinball FX2 experience that our fans both want and deserve. We’re excited to bring Pinball FX2 to Xbox One owners, to have their previous purchases honored and transferred, and we can’t wait to share with you what we’ve got coming in the future.

We thank you for your continued support!

It’s tournament time with me, your old pal, Deadpool! What do you mean we’re not pals?! Just because I’m better at pinball than you, doesn’t mean we can’t be friends, right?! HA! From July 23-30 I’ll be hosting a high score pinball tournament on MY OWN pinball table on XBLA, Steam, PS3, PS4, and PS Vita. Participation is easy – just complete a game while online during the week of the tournament to enter. If you get one of the top 3 high scores on your platform, I’ll send you a shirt from We Love Fine (featuring ME!), a code for the next table and a pair of Zen Studios slippers. I’m the best at pinball so show me what you’ve got!

Don’t think you can make it into the top 3? Well you’re in luck; there will be a random drawing for prizes. To qualify for the random drawing, complete a full game on MY table during the week of the tournament on XBLA, Steam, PS3, PS4 or Vita. You lucky ducks on XBLA and PSN will be notified via gamertag or PSN ID, and Steam winners will be posted in the Pinball FX2 Steam forums following the conclusion of the tournament. The folks at Zen will make every effort to get in touch with ya, so be on the lookout for a message or Steam forum post if you wanna claim your prize. Have fun trying to beat ME!
