Hello again, Pool fans! 👋
Today, we’re sharing an important update regarding the release of Pure Pool Pro. After incorporating your feedback from the Demo and Closed Beta, we’ve decided to officially shift our launch window from Q4 2025 to Q1 2026.
This is a positive step driven by you, the community, and will help ensure that the features and refinements players care most about receive the attention they deserve.
Over the past few months, with the Closed Beta and our Public Demo, you’ve highlighted key areas you wanted us to improve. From mouse & keyboard controls, cushion physics, break-shot performance, sound design, and AI shot logic, to deeper immersion options. Your input here has shaped this next phase of development.
Rather than sticking rigidly to our original plan, we’ve decided to refocus our time on delivering these community-requested updates and giving the game the polish it needs for the strongest possible launch.
We’re also making excellent progress toward our ambitious performance goals on PS5 Pro and high-end PCs. As Phil, our Creative Director, puts it:
“We’re taking a little extra time to refine aspects of gameplay based on recent community input while also ensuring we meet our ambitious performance targets for PS5 Pro and high-end PCs. We’re getting close, and we’re confident this decision will give players the best possible experience when they rack up on launch day.” - Phil Gaskell, Creative Director at Ripstone
All store pages and our website will be updated shortly to reflect the new Q1 2026 launch window. We’ll be sharing a final release date as soon as we can - along with the first look at Pure Pool Pro running on PS5 Pro. In the meantime, here's a first look at the Tetradome in action - complete with our new work-in-progress, livelier rail/cushion physics! 👀
Thank you again for your patience, feedback and enthusiasm. You’re helping us build a true successor to Pure Pool, and it's shaping up to be the most immersive and authentic cue sports experience we’ve ever created! Stay tuned - and keep telling your friends about PPP! Exciting things are coming. 🎱
