Pinball FX2 delayed on Xbox One so 360 tables can be imported for free

When Pinball FX2 was announced for the Xbox One, gamers were very upset over the fact that tables purchased for the game on Xbox 360 wouldn’t work in the current-gen version of the game.

This was exacerbated by the fact that iOS and PlayStation versions of the popular game allow for cross-generation table usage.

Developer Zen Studios has taken gamers’ anger into account and today announced they’d delay the game in order to support the transfer of 360 tables to Xbox One free of charge.

“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,” Zen Studios said in a statement on MajorNelson.com. “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.”

A specific release date for Pinball FX2 on Xbox One has not yet been named.
