Zen schedules Judge Dredd for October 22 at $9.99 in Pinball FX and Midnight or $14.99 in VR, with Steam cross-entitlement targeted for the same day.

Short answer

Zen Studios schedules Bally’s 1993 Judge Dredd table for October 22, 2026, at $9.99 in Pinball FX or Pinball FX Midnight and $14.99 in Pinball FX VR. Same-platform FX/Midnight purchases include both versions where available. Zen’s October 13 update targets Steam cross-entitlement for October 22; that target is not confirmation that it already works. Check your platform’s live listing before buying.

October 22 is the announced release date; Steam entitlement remains a target

Zen Studios schedules Bally’s 1993 Judge Dredd table for October 22 in Pinball FX, Pinball FX Midnight and Pinball FX VR. The September announcement lists $9.99 for the flat-screen table and $14.99 for VR. Buying the table in FX includes the Midnight version on the same platform where available, and vice versa. In its October 13 community update, Zen says it is aiming to bring FX/Midnight cross-entitlement to Steam on October 22. The Crafty Catsman has not tested the table or entitlement.

Why it matters

The date and price now let players plan a purchase, but the Steam entitlement target needs a launch-day check. Do not buy a second copy solely because the other library has not yet recognized ownership. Confirm the live listing, the same-platform entitlement terms and your VR device support before paying. The announcement does not promise ownership transfer between different storefronts.

Check the platform and entitlement before buying twice+

Zen identifies the table as Bally’s 1993 Judge Dredd machine and schedules it for October 22 across Pinball FX, Pinball FX Midnight and Pinball FX VR. The announced price is $9.99 for FX or Midnight and $14.99 for VR. FX/Midnight entitlement runs both ways on the same platform where available.

One table, three presentation paths: The Steam entitlement target adds a useful purchase check for players with both flat-screen libraries. It does not make a Quest or other VR purchase part of the FX/Midnight entitlement, and it does not promise cross-storefront ownership. Judge the VR option against the supported device and live listing for that version.

What remains open:
  • Will Steam FX/Midnight cross-entitlement be active on October 22 as Zen targets?
  • What will the regional price and supported VR device list be in each live storefront?

Wait for the store listing if:You need confirmed Steam entitlement, regional pricing or support for a particular VR headset before spending.

Add it to your watchlist if:You want the 1993 Bally table and already use one of the named FX, Midnight, or Meta Quest platforms.
