Pinball FX2 for Xbox One delayed to enable content transfers, Guardians table arrives on Xbox 360

Pinball FX2 Guardians of the Galaxy table

Earlier this calendar month we reported that Pinball FX2 from Zen Studios would be coming to Xbox One at the end of July as part of the ID@Xbox program. This heralded much rejoicing from pinball fans such as your friendly neighborhood Games Editor and fifty-fifty head honcho Daniel Rubino. But at the aforementioned time, we all lamented the inability to transfer purchased tables from the Xbox 360 version of Pinball FX2 to the Xbox One version. Microsoft had non allowed the developers to implement such a transfer.

Every bit Xbox Windows Telephone fans well know, sometimes Microsoft listens to user feedback and sometimes information technology does not. The Xbox One and ID@Xbox sections certainly have been extremely responsive for the terminal year or then. Case in point, Zen appear this calendar week that users volition be able to transfer their Pinball FX2 tables from the 360 to Xbox One right when the Xbox One version launches! At present that's what I call a win for consumers. Xbox One players will have to look a piffling longer for the game though, as the new version has been delayed until August.

Last minute delay

Pinball FX2 is less an individual game and more than a pinball game platform. On Xbox 360, downloading the main game itself won't go y'all full admission to any tables. But players can pick and choose from a huge variety of individual tables and table packs. These tables are all original creations from Zen Studios, not adaptations of real-life pinball machines. They vary in subject matter from original themes to licensed properties such every bit Curiosity Superheroes and Star Wars.

Since Pinball FX2 launched on Xbox 360 in 2022, many players take accrued upwardly of forty tables for that version of the game. As originally announced, existing players would have had to repurchase the same tables in society to access them on the Xbox One. Many would have refused to exercise and then, limiting the potential reach and enthusiasm for the new version of the game.

Pinball FX2 Guardians of the Galaxy table

Past default, there are no universal apps or content purchases shared between Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Some games accept allowed one way content transfers from the 360 to the Ane in the by though, such equally Assassin's Creed Four and Call of Duty Ghosts. The same type of content/contour transfer will apply to upcoming downloadable titles Minecraft: Xbox One Edition and Happy Wars.

Even though Microsoft has no ecosystem-wide transfer policy in identify (unfortunately), the big MS does at least grant exceptions at present and and so. The exception for Pinball FX2 came very late in the game, because literally within 2 weeks of the release engagement announcement and the original planned release. It's no surprise that the launch had to be pushed back a scrap in order to accommodate the transfer characteristic.

Note that transfers between the Windows 8 version of Pinball FX2 and the Xbox 1 version are extremely unlikely to happen. A transfer system for Windows 8-to-Xbox Ane versions simply does not exist yet. Peradventure someday!

Pinball FX2 for Xbox 1 will arrive sometime in Baronial. It will include the "Magician'south Lair" table for free.

Guardians of the Galaxy

In more than Pinball FX2 news, Zen has merely released the "Guardians of the Galaxy" table for Xbox 360. The new table is based on the Marvel Studios film of the same proper name that debuts in US theaters this week. I can't await to run into it!

The table features all five Guardians team members from the flick: Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot. Players will also encounter some of the film'southward antagonists, including Yondu and the Ravagers, Nebula, and Ronan the Accuser. The table starts out with iv-ball multiball, promising a high-intensity experience simply like the flick.

The "Guardians of the Galaxy" table will as well be coming to Xbox One next calendar month. This one won't be making its way to Windows viii, unfortunately.
