While fans continue to wait for Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas remasters—and with The Elder Scrolls VI still years away—Bethesda has returned in an unexpected way. The company has released a brand-new Bethesda Pinball DLC for Pinball M, developed by Zen Studios.
Instead of traditional remasters or sequels, this DLC turns three of Bethesda’s most iconic franchises into fully playable pinball tables.
Three Iconic Bethesda Worlds, One DLC Pack
The new DLC introduces three themed pinball tables inspired by Bethesda’s biggest RPG and action franchises:
- Fallout – A Wasteland-focused table built around factions, Vault raids, and Bobblehead collection
- DOOM – A high-speed table set inside a UAC facility with demon combat and multiball chaos
- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – An RPG-style table featuring crafting, magic, trading, side quests, and a final battle with Alduin
Each table blends traditional pinball mechanics with franchise-specific gameplay systems, giving fans a condensed but familiar experience.
Cross-Compatibility Across Pinball Platforms
One of the biggest highlights of this release is cross-compatibility. Purchasing the DLC in Pinball M also unlocks the same tables in Pinball FX, allowing players to access the content across multiple supported platforms.
The DLC is available on:
- PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch
- PC via Steam and Epic Games Store
- Meta Quest through Pinball FX VR
- Mobile devices via Zen Pinball World
The pack is priced at around $13 USD, making it a relatively low-cost way to revisit Bethesda’s worlds while waiting for major releases.
Fallout, DOOM, and Skyrim—Reimagined as Pinball
The Fallout table emphasizes exploration and progression. Players join factions, raid Vaults, and chase objectives inspired by classic Wasteland gameplay.
The DOOM table focuses on speed and aggression. Demon encounters, fast scoring chains, and intense multiball events reflect the franchise’s signature combat style.
The Skyrim table leans heavily into RPG mechanics. Players craft gear, use magic, mine resources, complete side quests, and ultimately face Alduin as the Dragonborn.
This DLC does not replace the remasters and sequels fans still want, but it serves as a creative crossover for players who enjoy arcade-style experiences. Zen Studios continues to expand its licensed lineup, which already includes themed tables based on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Chucky, System Shock, Duke Nukem, and more.
For now, Bethesda’s pinball crossover offers a lighthearted way to revisit familiar worlds—just not in the way most fans expected. Play Now!
