The Customization Panel

Open the customization panel from in-game HUD "Customization" button located on bottom right corner to find everything in one place, split across three tabs: Cues, Table Cloth, and Ball Sets. Pick any item to spin it around in a live 3D preview, then hit Equip to take it to the table.

Table Cloths

Reskin the felt with 35 cloth options:

  • Four classic colours to start (green, royal blue, red, and camel).

  • More than 20 rich colours, from Petroleum Blue to Wine to Burnt Orange.

  • A set of designed, patterned cloths - Tiger, Camo, Coffee, Donuts, Fish, Halloween, and Leaves - each with its own motif on the playing surface.

Ball Sets

Change the whole look of the rack:

  • Classic - the standard balls.

  • Marble - a premium full-colour marble finish on every ball, tinted to the classic colours so the game stays crystal clear to read.

Cues

Over 90 cue designs, organized into three columns so you can find your style fast:

  • Classic - clean default cues, free for everyone.

  • Flags - represent your country with dozens of national-flag cues.

  • Themed - bold premium designs including Pirate, Snake, Inferno, Camo, Shark, Tiger, Carbon, Gilded, Coffee, Donuts, Flowers, and Leaves.

Selected cue will be shown to the opponent on multiplayer games. Themed and Flag cues are only available for pool pass owners.

Earn It on the Table: Objective Unlocks

Most cosmetics aren't bought - they're earned. Every patterned cloth and the Marble ball set has its own objective tied to how you actually play. Your progress tracks automatically against your career stats, the panel shows a progress bar on every locked item, and the moment you cross the line the reward is granted instantly with an on-screen pop.

Here's the full unlock list:

  • Colour cloths - Win 10 multiplayer games

  • Tiger cloth - Win 25 multiplayer games

  • Camo cloth - Play 50 multiplayer games

  • Coffee cloth - Pocket 500 balls

  • Donuts cloth - Win 10 8-Ball games

  • Fish cloth - Win 10 9-Ball games

  • Halloween cloth - Win 5 Snooker frames

  • Leaves cloth - Pocket 1500 balls

  • Marble ball set - Reach 3000 points in multiplayer

These objectives are permanent. Chip away at them at your own pace - your unlocks are saved to your account.

Limited-Time Event: Galaxy Billiards

For a limited time, two cosmic-themed cosmetics are up for grabs - and these you can only earn during the event:

  • Galaxy table cloth - Win 100 multiplayer games before the event ends.

  • Galaxy cue - Win 3 tournaments before the event ends.

The Galaxy Billiards event runs through June 30, 2026 (UTC). After that date the Galaxy cue and cloth are locked away, so rack 'em up while you can. Keep an eye on the Events tab in the lobby to track your progress toward both rewards.

And as always, various minor adjustments and fixes have been applied.

Thanks for playing!
