Pinball FX2 VR

Pinball FX2 VR, also known as Pinball FX 2 Virtual Reality, takes classic pinball and drops you right inside the game. Instead of just watching the ball bounce around, you get to experience the tables up close, with all the lights, sounds, and crazy effects in full 3D. It’s not just another pinball sim—this one plays out like a wild VR arcade machine where your reactions really matter.

What’s the game about?

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be inside a pinball machine, here’s your chance. Pinball FX2 VR offers a unique spin by turning traditional pinball into a virtual reality experience. You get to play on tables with moving parts and intense animations that crank things up a notch. Need a break from boring old 2D? This game might just surprise you.

Key features

• Three detailed VR pinball tables: Secrets of the Deep, Mars, and Epic Quest
• Realistic physics that make every shot count
• Interactive environments that react while you play
• Global leaderboards to check your rank and stats
• Free to download with optional DLC for more tables later

Why give it a go?

Think pinball’s just about flippers and a ball? Pinball FX2 VR changes the game by throwing in flashy effects and little surprises. One minute you’re dodging sea monsters in Secrets of the Deep, the next you’re scrambling across the red dust of Mars. And the Epic Quest table? Let’s just say I lost an afternoon chasing combos and achievements. Lesson learned: always carry a spare sword.

It works well if you’re just in the mood to relax or if you like competing against others online. The leaderboards track more than your score—they keep tabs on your “Super Score” and “Wizard Score,” which means you can track your progress beyond just points. Spoiler: I didn’t improve much at first.

How does it play?

You’ll find the VR controls smooth, and the physics feel close to a real machine. Sometimes the ball flies right past your face—and yes, it made me flinch more than once. It’s surprisingly immersive without being overwhelming. Plus, the game doesn’t bombard you with endless menus or confusing settings. You jump in and start flipping.

Final take

If you have a VR headset lying around and want to try something different, Pinball FX2 VR offers solid fun without asking for your wallet upfront. It’s free to download and comes with enough tables to keep you busy for hours. Later, you can grab more tables as DLC if you want. So why not see if you can keep the ball alive longer than I did?
