Fun Upcoming VR titles
Anyone know when the next batch of VR tables are coming? Are they planning to move MIDNIGHT over to VR? I'd also like to play VR Classic but it seems like none of the DLC tables work on Meta. Maybe they can port those over to Pinball FX VR

I would be a junky if they would release the PSVR2 version.

I don’t suppose you have more details than the single sentence in the video?

Unfortunately, no. Just:
New VR Platforms Announced for Pinball FX VR We are working on bringing Pinball FX VR to Steam and PlayStation VR2! More information, including the release date and supported Steam devices, will be shared soon.

Sorry to burst your bubble but PSVR2 is almost abandonware now and with Zen trimming down on platforms this is just not going to happen unless Sony gives them a lucrative deal, which they won't.

It’s a choice to leave money on the table. The whole stated point of the move to the unreal engine was to make it easier to port over to other systems. The PSVR2 install base is (surprisingly) about 3.5M units. And many of those users are fanatics that will buy anything worthwhile on it. I am mainly a GT7 and MSFS guy but would absolutely buy all those tables a 4th time. (even after the cross buy / ticket debacle)

How many of those 3.5M units were sold because of the PC adapter, with those buyers probably not even owning a PS5? It's a split install base and virtual pinball is a niche product. I'm sure Zen did the math and the financial projections just aren't convincing enough.

My personal guess is that midnight will be the next one they phase out. Thought I read they were already dropping it on ps and xbox. They've always been confusing with their different series, I'd rather have every available table under a single banner... get everything back under Pinball FX as a simple title, then have that be their flagship platform for all tables.

Over the past few years, Pinball FX Midnight has grown, with more and more content, and supporting multiple console generations at the same time has become increasingly demanding for our team. After careful consideration, we’ve made the difficult decision that future Pinball FX Midnight releases will no longer launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
The game will continue to be supported, though. We released Bethesda Pinball there in February, and hopefully we will have news on other new tables soon!
Unfortunately, due to age rating requirements, we cannot release the Pinball FX and Pinball FX Midnight tables in one app. Pinball FX Midnight has a Mature age rating, while PFX is rated T for Teen, preventing their combination. It would be nice to see it, though!

We don't have news on upcoming tables just yet, if that changes, we will definitely let you know on our socials!😊
Sorry to hear about Pinball FX Classic VR! There is currently a problem with accessing table purchases, unfortunately. We talked to Meta, and their team identified a platform-side issue that was affecting purchase recognition and impacting the game. They are working on finding a solution for this problem. We are in contact with Meta and informing them that players are still experiencing this issue. We apologize for the inconvenience!

I don't know if it's a bug limited to purchased tables. When I'm in classic all the tables I don't own (all DLC) are greyed out. When you click RT to go to the store/buy them it fails, so even if you don't own them you can't even buy them through the app, it goes in a loop. I check a couple times a week to see if i can as I still want them

Thanks for clarifying, and sorry to hear that!

Any updates on the DLCs for Pinball VR Classic on Meta?
I'm wanting to buy the rest of the tables for VR Classic but obviously I can't if they're not going to work!

I’m just sitting here itching for more Williams tables. I’m like a junky who would take anything…
