Overview

The new table selection dashboard

Much like Pinball FX2 did on the Xbox 360, Zen Pinball 2 is a free download on PlayStation 3 & WiiU, and a free upgrade for existing owners of Zen Pinball and Marvel Pinball. While those older games are still available on PSN, this download consolidates them into one game that houses all the tables from both. It also takes advantage of Cross Buy for Vita owners, allowing any content purchased to be available on either system.

Additional features:

  • Local split-screen & hotseat multiplayer, online modes, and worldwide tournaments.
  • Trial versions of all tables not owned, allowing players to try before they buy.
  • Graphics & physics upgrades.
  • New social system integrations, with friend challenges, Facebook integration, ProScore (personal performance across all tables) and TeamScore (a combined score ranking you and your friends).
  • New rule sheets to help players better understand the mechanics of the tables.
  • New trophies for all tables.
