The Xbox One release of Pinball FX 2 was in question last month when Zen Studios opted to delay its next-gen debut, since it wanted to make sure users could re-download any tables they previously bought on the Xbox 360 system. It looks like the delay has paid off, as the game is now available for download, with backward compatibility intact.

The game comes with one table, Sorcerer's Lair, free of charge, but other tables will need to be purchased, varying from $2.99 for singles to $9.99 for packs. Several tables have been released alongside the core game, including new entries like Deadpool and Guardians of the Galaxy, as well as classic Star Wars and Marvel packs.

Not all the tables are ready yet, as some noteworthy ones are still missing, like Plants vs. Zombies. However, Zen will add these soon, and in the meantime, you can enjoy the current tables and challenge friends to online competitions, and maybe even earn a few Achievements in the process.

      I'd get more excited about Zen news if they'd ever figure out how to do cross platform purchase support. You'd think at the very least they be able to generate a code for you to use to claim the table on at least one other system. Just can't keep repurchasing everything every time there's a new platform.

      Or at least do more packs and more random discounting of packs.

        Both Sony and Microsoft platforms are able to transfer your purchases to the next-gen systems.

          True. But I've bought tables on Steam and Android, so no help there.

            That's likely more on the platform holder's side of things. If these companies don't want to play nice, then Zen has no option but to sell you the tables multiple times on different platforms. MS was going to force them to resell the tables to gamers that already bought them on 360, luckily the community backlash caused MS to allow rights transfers, thus the game's one-month delay.
