Nintendo Switch Players,

As some of you know, purchasing tables from the Pinball FX3 in-game shop had been unavailable for some time.

We wanted to let you know that this issue has now been fixed. The developers made the necessary changes, and everything is working properly again. If you already have the game in your inventory, you should now be able to expand your table collection.

Thank you for your patience while we worked through this problem! 😊

Pinball FX VR Players,

We're coming in with a list of fixes on Thursday, so please finish your saved games on Diner™ and Comet™, as you won’t be able to continue them after the patch.

Thanks so much! 😊

Dear Pinball Fans,

As announced in Pinball Bites - Season 4 Episode 2 - Pinball FX3 and its DLCs are now hidden on the PlayStation Store and the Nintendo Switch eShop, meaning they are no longer discoverable for players. If you have the game in your inventory, these changes won’t affect you, as the game will remain in your library.

Players can still expand their table collection through the in-game shop on PlayStation Store. Unfortunately, this option is currently unavailable on Nintendo Switch due to a technical error. We are investigating the situation on the platform.

On Xbox and the Microsoft Store, the game and its DLCs have been removed, so acquiring these titles is no longer possible. If you have the game in your inventory, it remains in your library and is still playable.

We would like to highlight that none of these changes will impact the game’s functionality in any way, and online services will continue to operate in the future.

We understand that this news may be disappointing for players on these platforms, and we truly want to thank you for the support you’ve shown us over the years. We wish you many high scores on your favorite tables!
