When Wednesday starts feeling like Thursday, you know something good just dropped. This update arrived a day early, and there’s plenty to explore.

This is our first update since the holiday break, and while things were quiet on the outside, we’ve been busy behind the scenes. This update brings a solid batch of fixes, VR improvements, and two brand-new features expanding both the Market and Tournament systems.

This update includes a number of important fixes, improvements and new features based on community feedback. Let's start with what’s been fixed and improved.

  • Fixed Campaign Mode progress display in VR. The web-like campaign progression now renders correctly.

  • Fixed player positioning when starting Arcade gameplay in VR. The player now correctly snaps to the Arcade machine.

  • Improved VR World Scale and Seated Mode positioning behavior. Changes now require confirmation before applying, preventing unwanted real-time shifts during adjustment.

  • Fixed the startup screen background in VR. It is now black, making all loading and warning text clearly readable.

  • Fixed available game modes on tables. Unsupported game modes could previously appear for certain tables.

  • Fixed the back navigation not working properly in some menus.

With the fixes out of the way, it’s time to look at what’s new.

The Market now includes a brand-new Preview View feature. When browsing items, you can instantly see how the selected item will look in its actual placement before purchasing it.

And after completing a purchase, a new Equip button allows you to immediately apply the item to your current setup without navigating through menus.

Community Tournaments

We’re also introducing a brand-new tournament format. Unlike Official or Custom Tournaments, Community Tournaments are driven by player votes. Players can vote for tables and when voting closes, the top 3 most-voted tables become playable in the Community tab under the Tournament menu. To add an extra layer of challenge, players can attempt plays as many times as they like, with one condition. Each attempt costs Magic Coins. All entry fees are collected into a prize pool, which is then distributed among the Top 50 players per table.

Keep an eye on the votes, because tables with more votes generate larger prize pools. Higher prize pools also mean higher entry costs. Voting happens weekly, and once voting closes, the playable tables rotate for the next week. And one more thing: five random voters will also receive rewards, so casting a vote can pay off even if your table doesn’t win.

Ohh, and I almost forgot: If you vote today, the tables will be ready to play on tomorrow, because voting will restart on Wednesday evening, and by Thursday morning you will be able to play on the new set of tables and take part in the new vote.

And with a new year comes new tables, and we’re not slowing down in 2026.

We’re proud to introduce a brand-new licensed content pack based on one of New Blood Interactive’s standout titles. Following Blood West now Fallen Aces joins the lineup.

As you’ve come to expect, the licensed pack arrives in four distinct table versions:

Fallen Aces Retro

Fallen Aces Solid State

Fallen Aces Remake

Fallen Aces Deluxe

Each table faithfully captures the atmosphere, style, and attitude of Fallen Aces. And, as always, the pack includes more than just tables. Alongside the four Fallen Aces tables, you’ll also unlock 15 exclusive customization items available to all DLC owners: 3 pcs of Floors, 2 pcs of Walls, one Floormat, 2 pcs of Mats, 2 pcs of Pillows, One Dresser and 4pcs of Stickers.

And that’s not all, this update also brings our third EM+ table pack! Prepare to step into new worlds, each table offering its own challenges, surprises, and pinball thrills.

Emerging from the crimson glow of a distant planet, the Star God EM+ table commands attention. At its center, a divine, winged figure watches over the cosmos, while warriors patrol the void and space stations hover in the background. Every hit of the pop bumpers, every flick through the lanes, and every target struck echoes through the planet.

Perched atop a lonely hill, the Magic Castle EM+ looms in the moonlight, its spires clawing at the misty sky. Shadows slither through the surrounding forest as a vampire watches from the left, a serpent coils to the right. Every pop bumper, drop target, and rollover echoes like the toll of a crypt bell, while the haunted glow of the castle invites brave players to test their skill.

Step into the neon glow of a casino in Star’s Phoenix EM+, where the thrill of chance hangs in the air. A spin the roulette wheel, laughter and tension mixing as two dice whirl at the center of the table, chasing the ultimate jackpot. Every roll of the ball is a gamble, every hit could be your lucky streak.

Is it a Hawaiian getaway, or a sun-soaked Ibiza escape? Tropical EM+ invites you to forget the world and drift into pure island bliss. On a golden beach, carefree fun unfolds by the shore while cocktails are sipped beneath swaying palms. Mountains rise gently around the island, framing a postcard-perfect paradise where every spinner, ramp, and rollover feels like another step deeper into vacation mode.

With the third EM+ pack explored, it’s time to shift gears. The final table steps beyond EM+ roots and charges full speed into Deluxe territory, where deeper rules, cinematic action, and high-stakes showdowns take center stage.

Locomotion Deluxe roars into action with the thunder of steam and gunfire. A rugged locomotive tears through forests and dusty clearings, caught in the middle of a ruthless bandit ambush. Bullets fly as an outlaw and the sheriff face off atop the bumpers. This is the Wild West at full speed, where every shot counts, every jackpot feels earned, and only the fastest gunslinger can restore order on the rails.

For those who love a great soundtrack, the awesome music tracks from this table are available separately if you own the Zaccaria Pinball - Original Soundtrack DLC.

As always, thank you for your continued support and passion for pinball! We hope you’ll enjoy these new tables as much as we enjoyed creating them.

See you on the leaderboards!

Happy flipping, The Magic Pixel Team
