Two Elvira tables get a Midnight release

Zen Studios has scheduled Williams Pinball: Scared Stiff and Williams Pinball: Elvira and the Party Monsters for Pinball FX Midnight on October 22, 2026. The announcement names PlayStation, Xbox, Epic Games, and Nintendo Switch. These are additions to the digital Midnight library; this announcement does not concern a new physical pinball machine.

Why it matters

For players who already bought either table in Pinball FX, the useful change is access to another version of a table they own. Zen says the corresponding Midnight DLC will be available at no additional cost on the same platform where available. Future purchasers are promised both versions with one purchase. Check the exact table in your existing library before paying again. We have not played or tested these Midnight releases.

Keep the platform attached to the purchase+

Same-platform ownership is the boundary that matters. A table bought on one storefront should not be treated as a purchase on every other platform. Zen qualifies the entitlement with “where available”; its announcement does not promise support for every device, game version, or account combination. Check the Midnight store and the account that owns your FX copy before deciding whether another purchase is necessary.

Plan for the release, then check your library: The announcement gives owners a date to check for their included DLC. For someone buying either table for the first time, it explains the two-version entitlement but leaves price unstated. An October 22 announcement is also different from a live purchase listing today. Confirm the current store offer at release, including the game, table, supported platform, and price.

What remains open:
  • What price will the relevant storefront list for each table or package?
  • Does your exact platform and account show the included Midnight version at release?

Check before paying:You already own the corresponding Pinball FX table or are moving to a different platform.

Consider the release if:You want these tables in Midnight and have confirmed the supported platform and the current store offer.
