- Update #107: Zaccaria Pinball Has Officially Left Early Access! - 16 October 2025
Hey Pinball Fans! This is a truly special moment for us. Zaccaria Pinball has officially left Early Access!It has been quite a journey. We started this project back in 2013 on iOS with just three original Zaccaria tables.

Greenlight was a program where the community voted for games they wanted to see on the platform, and those with enough support were approved for release. This program was officially deprecated in 2017.Since then, we have shipped over 110 major updates and 22 patch updates, added more than 130 tables, built VR support, created multiplayer, created tournaments, improved graphics, introduced new game modes, and even a…
