Steam Frame now has a separate Pinball FX VR library with three tables in the base game
Steam lists Pinball FX VR as released on Steam Frame on October 14, 2026, at $9.99 for a base game with Sky Pirates: Treasures of the Clouds, Pinball Noir and Curse of the Mummy, and Zen’s October 16 post confirms it is available. Zen’s release-day roster lists 20 add-ons carrying 38 tables, and Steam prices those add-ons from $7.99 to $19.99, or $316.80 for all 20 at full US prices. Zen says its Complete Bundles give 40% off for players who own the Pinball FX versions of the tables on Steam.
Quest purchases do not transfer, so an existing Quest library does not become a Steam library, and Steam says the game supports the Steam Frame hardware only. Zen’s September announcement planned all 42 tables then on Quest for launch; the release-day roster lists three included tables and 20 add-ons. Zen targets visuals similar to the Quest 3 version, uses Normal physics and did not include mixed reality at launch, and it said on October 16 that it planned a patch with various fixes. The Crafty Catsman has not played or performance-tested the Steam Frame version. Before rebuying tables, list the exact titles you use and check whether the 40% bundle applies to your account.
The platform change is a library-cost decision
The base game is $9.99 and includes three Zen Originals. Steam lists 20 add-ons, from single tables to three-table packs, priced $7.99 to $19.99; buying all of them at full US prices costs $316.80 before any bundle discount. Zen says its Complete Bundles give 40% off when you own the Pinball FX versions on Steam, but Steam’s bundle labels were inconsistent when viewed, so check the cart price. Quest purchases do not transfer. Zen recommends enabling Eye Tracking in the Steam Frame headset settings for the best visual quality.
Hardware interest and software ownership are separate questions: A Steam Frame version creates another way to play, but its value depends on the controls, performance, catalog, regional storefront terms and the cost of recreating a library. Steam lists no other PC VR headset; in September Zen said it was exploring the possibility of bringing Pinball FX VR to SteamVR in the future. The release confirms the ownership boundary and the add-on prices, not the finished experience.
- How will the Steam Frame version perform across controls and settings once Zen’s planned fix patch lands?
- What do the add-ons cost in each regional storefront, and how much does the 40% bundle save on your account?
- Will mixed reality or other SteamVR headsets be supported later?
Wait if duplicate ownership changes the value:You already own a substantial Quest library, need mixed reality or another PC VR headset, or want tested performance before choosing the platform.
Consider the base game when:The three included tables justify $9.99 on their own and any add-on purchase is checked against your Pinball FX ownership on Steam and the live Complete Bundle price.
