Few publishers have worlds as instantly recognisable as Bethesda’s, and now three of its biggest franchises are colliding with classic arcade action in Bethesda Pinball.
Available now for £12.49, this new table pack drops into multiple pinball platforms, letting players relive legendary adventures from Fallout, DOOM, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in a fast-paced, score-chasing format.
You’ll find these tables playable across Pinball FX (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Epic Games Store), Pinball M (Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Epic Games Store), Pinball FX VR (Meta Quest), and Zen Pinball World (iOS and Android), ensuring that this is one of the most widely accessible pinball releases yet.
For fans of Bethesda’s worlds, this is less about saving the universe and more about keeping the ball alive.
Three Legendary Worlds Reimagined As Pinball Tables
Bethesda Pinball includes three themed tables, each inspired by one of the publisher’s most iconic games. Rather than simply reskinning traditional pinball layouts, each table incorporates mechanics, characters, and objectives drawn from its source material.
Fallout Pinball – The Fallout Pinball table drops players into the post-apocalyptic wasteland that Fallout is famous for. Expect faction choices, Vault exploration, and Bobblehead collecting as you bounce your way through irradiated landscapes. If you’re looking for something that captures the series’ mix of survival, humour, and discovery in a surprisingly natural way, this should be it.
DOOM Pinball – Things get considerably louder on the DOOM Pinball table. Here, players battle demons inside a UAC facility, triggering chaotic multi-ball sequences and fast-moving challenges inspired by the DOOM Slayer’s relentless combat style. This should well be the most intense of the three tables.
Skyrim Pinball – Meanwhile, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Pinball leans into adventure and progression. Players can craft gear, trade items, complete side quests, and ultimately confront Alduin in a table built around exploration and discovery. A slower, more strategic experience compared to the others? Quite possibly.

Building On Zen’s Pinball Foundations
Zen Studios’ modern pinball platforms have continued evolving over the past few years. When we reviewed Pinball FX, we noted that the gameplay remained “as good as ever,” even as the platform itself changed direction.
Meanwhile, Pinball M offered a slightly different approach, winning praise for its features and customisation options, with our review stating it “does a lot of right things to win back the fanbase.”
Bethesda Pinball fits comfortably into both ecosystems, offering recognisable themes wrapped around the reliable physics and design Zen is known for.
A Nostalgic Spin On Iconic Worlds
Bethesda Pinball may not involve open-world exploration or demon-slaying campaigns, but it captures the spirit of three beloved franchises in a way that feels playful and accessible. Whether you’re chasing high scores in DOOM, scavenging in Fallout, or fulfilling your destiny as Dragonborn in Skyrim, these tables offer a different perspective on familiar adventures.
Sometimes saving the world can wait, especially when there’s a high score to beat.
