[QUOTE="Pinballwiz45b, post: 296601, member: 1051"] Alright, let's lay things down first: Pinball FX is an Epic Exclusive on PC, starting March 2022. That's given. My best guess relates to what Supergiant Games did with Hades; it doesn't matter what state the game is in when it releases to the public. The countdown clock to Steam starts then. And it's not just Steam that gets to suffer at first, I do agree on that. Zen's original pinball titles were on consoles shortly before making their way to Steam -- FX2 (and likewise ZP2) were available before the Steam version in summer 2013. Besides, we don't know that PC is the best-selling platform for their pinball products, only Zen does. Even with Zen's care package back in 2020, FX3's peak on Steam was just short compared to FX2. Then again, what do I know? The Early Access state is also Epic only, I can imagine to refine online networking bugs before going wide-scale. Once Early Access is lifted, expect a release across PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and Switch in summer 2022. [B]Operencia:[/B] March 8, 2019 -> March 31, 2020 (389 days) [B]Dread Nautical:[/B] April 29, 2020 -> October 27, 2020 (exception to that rule) [B]CastleStorm II:[/B] September 23, 2020 -> ??? (For all I know, best guess is mid-late October 2021) [B]Pinball FX:[/B] March 2022 -> April 2023 ([B]CONFIRMED as of 10/20/2021 [url]https://www.pinballfx.com/?page_id=7115[/url][/B]) Do keep in mind about Star Wars VR and Zen Pinball Party also having new tables locked behind those, but YMMV on the themes and difficulty of each game. Regardless, we'll see what Zen reaps from now until summer 2022 (and eventually 2023 -- heck, their newer titles are even on GOG. I'll have to keep an eye out for that). EDIT: Reading back into what you were saying regarding "YEARS": Yeah, I totally get it. At this rate, looks like a 2 and a half year drought before Steam sees anything.
