Update Regarding Pinball FX2’s
Release on Xbox One and Table Transfers
First of all, we’d like to thank the Zen Studios community for
their 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.
Zen Studios has 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 next month. 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!
