Zen Studios is a Hungarian video game developer and publisher of interactive entertainment software with headquarters in Budapest, Hungary and offices in the United States.

[2][3] The company is considered "synonymous with licensed pinball tables," having produced well over a hundred tables with characters and themes from the Star Wars and Marvel universes, films like Guardians of the Galaxy, TV series like Archer, South Park, Family Guy and Bob's Burgers, and video game franchises such as Plants vs. Zombies, Portal, Street Fighter, and The Walking Dead.

[7] The company name is based on the team's belief in Zen as a creed to follow in their work and lives, specifically with employees and fans.

[8] By the time PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade arrived, the studio had gained knowledge and experience with console platforms and gaming handhelds.

[17] In early 2016, Zen Studios teamed up with Oculus Rift to create pinball tables in virtual reality.

Pinball FX2 VR, which features three original table designs from the Zen Studios development team, was released on the Oculus Rift’s launch day, March 28, 2016.

[19] A year after FX 3 was released, Zen Studios announced that it has recently acquired the rights to develop digital conversions of real-life Bally and Williams pinball tables, a first for the company.

[24] In September, 2024, Embracer Group announced that it would be retaining ownership of both as direct subsidiaries, following Saber Interactive's early payment of their acquisition debt.

[32] As a company that seeks to deliver a family-friendly pinball experience, Zen Studios designs its tables such that they include no material that would be deemed unsuitable for older children (such as sexual content, graphic violence, profanity and substance abuse).

[citation needed] One exception is Pinball M, which includes horror themed boards with graphic violence and profanity, and such is rated M by the ESRB.
