Highlights
- Bethesda’s Fallout official return brings iconic wasteland pinball to all major platforms.
- This Fallout official return features a 3-table bundle including Skyrim and DOOM.
- The Fallout official return offers fans a $13 "time-killer" while waiting for Fallout 5.
In a massive mid-month surprise that has caught the gaming world completely off guard, Bethesda has unleashed a multi-front expansion for the Fallout franchise. Announced and released on February 12, 2026, this Fallout official return to the digital arcade space serves as an unexpected addition to the franchise's ecosystem. This release is designed to offer an accessible "time-killer" for players. It provides a way to stay engaged while enduring the long wait for the next mainline entries in the studio's catalog.
The new DLC collection, priced at roughly $13.00 USD, is available immediately across a wide array of digital pinball platforms, including Pinball FX, Pinball M, Pinball FX VR, and Zen Pinball World.
The headline attraction is a dedicated Fallout-themed table that allows fans to experience the charm of the post-apocalyptic wasteland in a bite-sized arcade format. The table is packed with iconic elements from the series, featuring Super Mutants, Ghouls, Vault Boys, and various settings familiar to veterans of the franchise.
A Massive Surprise and the Fallout Official Return
Beyond the nuclear wasteland, the bundle acts as a celebration of Bethesda's broader portfolio. The collection includes 3 themed tables for DOOM, Skyrim, and Fallout, ensuring access to three of the studio's most popular IPs in one package, as reported by ScreenRant.
This release strategy appears to be an effort to keep the intellectual property relevant and engaging while Director Todd Howard and his team prioritize the development of The Elder Scrolls VI, a decision that has pushed the release of Fallout 5 further down the production timeline.
The "Bethesda Pinball" pack is available on almost every major platform. You can find it on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store via Pinball FX and Pinball M. PC players can also grab it on Steam through Pinball M, while mobile users can play on iOS and Android via Zen Pinball World. For those looking for total immersion, it is also out on Meta Quest through Pinball FX VR.
While this game certainly is not the mainline RPG experience some may be clamoring for, the release offers a unique diversion to keep fans occupied during the current content drought.
