Pinball FX3 Switch patch coming after Zen backflips

Zen Studios has pledged to patch Pinball FX3 on Nintendo Switch after previously advising it would one for the too hard pile.

“The community has spoken, and as we pride ourselves in doing at Zen Studios, we are listening,” the developer said in a statement issued to Stevivor.

“Zen is happy to confirm that we will in fact release a patch to bring all Pinball FX3 content to 60 FPS in handheld mode on Nintendo Switch this summer. The time between now and then will be spent achieving 60 FPS in handheld mode and 1080p Full HD in docked mode for all 30+ tables in the library, plus testing and then publishing submissions to Nintendo.”

Previously, Zen took to email to tell a customer that a patch would be too difficult, saying, “sadly since then the developer team realized the fact that we have to recreate every table from the bits to achieve [it],” citing that Zen had “limited resources” and therefore wouldn’t be following up.

Zen Studios points out that “in the meantime, we still proudly stand by the current Switch iteration of Pinball FX3, which currently boasts a very respectable 83 Metacritic rating, and we will continue to release exceptional content in the months to come.”

We’ll update you when more is known about the patch.

Pinball FX3 is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Switch.
