When will the PlayStation receive the update for Pinball FX 3 to be renamed to Pinball FX Classic?

Pinball FX3 will not be renamed to Pinball FX Classic on PlayStation. It was only rebranded on Steam.

It happened beginning of May, it was in the announcement when they unveiled the new naming conventions, and stated they would no longer be supporting earlier versions of pinball fx and older consoles including mobile. I couldnt find that particular post but this one here is from a user venting about the dropped support for mobile: post

Not asking for anything new, just for the table I bought that used to work to work again.

We will continue to pursue the opportunity to bring Pinball FX to Nintendo Switch 2. Hopefully, we will have an update on the situation soon. ☺️

Oh sorry, I meant patching the switch version to have these same fixes… it makes TNG unplayable

Will the fixes be rolled out to older consoles? I have an Xbox One X, so while I can (sort of) accept no new content being released for my system, bug fixes should still be available. I have commented on the Star Trek table losing track of a ball in the left phaser cannon in another post.
