[2] Pinball FX 3 launched with three new tables based on movie properties from Universal Pictures that includes E.T.
[6] The Switch version also omits Zen Studios' Marvel and Star Wars pinball tables, with the latter being made available separately as a single, standalone compilation game exclusive to that platform, titled Star Wars Pinball, in 2019.
[7] In September 2018, Zen Studios announced that it has received the license to recreate several real Bally and Williams tables for the game.
[8] This marks the first time in the Pinball FX series that real world tables are recreated in the game.
[8] These tables can be played in two visual modes that otherwise do not impact the game: one based on the more realistic appearance of the actual pinball games, and another that added Pinball FX 3's simulated elements like animated characters, and unique ball trail colors.
[11] Further, Zen Studios had had past issues with ESRB content ratings with games such as Infinite Minigolf and wanted to exercise caution.
