Zen Studios will not be releasing a patch to improve performance of Pinball FX3 on Nintendo Switch, the developer recently detailed.
After the release of the game back in December 2017, Zen took to Twitter to acknowledge low framerate and resolution in both docked and handheld modes.
“Yep, looks terrible,” the tweet began. “We are formulating a patch to get up to 60FPS in handheld, and hopefully bump up docked to full 1080. We’re on it.”
Yep, looks terrible. We are formulating a patch to get up to 60FPS in handheld, and hopefully bump up docked to full 1080. We're on it. Thanks for your help here.

With no further word issued on the patch, Reddit user megatorterra got in touch with the publisher, who then confirmed the patch is kaput.
“Your question is fair enough sadly since then the developer team realized the fact that we have to recreate every table from the bits to achieve this quality,” an email to megatorterra reads. “Right now we have very limited resources and the team is focused on a few big projects so it’s not going be released. Sorry about this!”
So there you have it — the patch won’t be issued as there’s far more work involved than Zen originally thought.
Pinball FX3 is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Switch.
