Bethesda’s iconic gaming franchises return to digital pinball in February 2026 through a collaboration between the publisher and Budapest-based Zen Studios. The Bethesda Pinball DLC pack features three tables based on Fallout, DOOM, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, translating post-apocalyptic wastelands, demon-infested Mars facilities, and fantasy dragon battles into mission-based pinball experiences.
Released on February 12, 2026, the pack arrived across multiple platforms including Pinball FX, Pinball M, Pinball FX VR for Meta Quest, and Zen Pinball World for mobile devices. Each table incorporates franchise-specific mechanics: V.A.T.S. targeting from Fallout, the BFG 9000 from DOOM, and dragon shouts from Skyrim. The official announcement from Bethesda’s Fallout account on X confirmed the surprise release date.

Explore Each Pinball Table
Fallout Pinball
Survive the Post-Nuclear Commonwealth
The Fallout table places players in the post-nuclear wasteland of the Commonwealth where joining factions, raiding Vaults, and collecting Bobbleheads forms the core pinball progression. Players utilize the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System (V.A.T.S.) to target mutants and raiders with precision shots while deploying iconic weapons like the Fat Man nuclear launcher for high-scoring opportunities. The table integrates RPG elements including experience points, level-ups, and a companion system.
DOOM Pinball
Battle Demons Across UAC Mars
DOOM Pinball drops players into the demon-overrun UAC research facility on Mars where weapon progression and power-up management determines survival. The table features situational weapon unlocks including the Super Shotgun, Chaingun, Rocket Launcher, Plasma Rifle, and the devastating BFG 9000. Deathmatch multiball sequences accelerate ball speed and scoring intensity while health and armor pickups spawn through specific shot combinations. The table culminates in a boss encounter against the Cyberdemon.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Pinball
Fulfill Your Dragonborn Destiny
The Skyrim table follows the Dragonborn’s quest through the main storyline leading to the confrontation with Alduin the World-Eater. Players craft weapons, wield magic, equip armor, buy and sell goods, mine materials, find trainers, and complete side quests across Tamriel. The table features interactive minigames including lockpicking challenges and randomly generated cave exploration sequences. This table emphasizes strategic progression and character development over pure speed.
