So people keep asking - what's the difference between the Steam Version and the Xbox One version of Pool Nation FX...??
We know the difference between Pool Nation and the FX version (see my previous annoucment) so its a Good question! ːsteamhappyː
Firstly we received some great feedback from the 3 million downloads on Xbox One, so Steam in terms of the main game is further ahead in development than the current Xbox one version. We haven't stopped working on Pool Nation FX since its debut in April and will continue to long after its launch today on Steam.
*To confirm before I start the comparison I will confirm that Xbox will get the Steam updates also!
Although Pool Nation FX on Steam addresses all of the main issues raised on Xbox one at launch and thereafter, it is in Early access for one main reason, the Pool Hall! This a social Mecca for billiards fans, and will be the most exciting social experience to hit a pool game - ever. It brings pool to life! We want to utilise the Steam forums to build this Pool Hall with you, hence the need for early access. The plan is to launch in three main stages:
Stage 1: introducing the pool hall and spectating matches live online
Stage 2: Live information on current games in progress - Game state updates to give life to the pool hall experience
Stage 3: Expanding the social experience - Winner stays on, bigger lobby's more people
So as you can see we have far from finished with Pool Nation FX, its a great game that's about to get better!
*All updates to Pool Nation FX listed above are in test for Xbox One - the submission process for Xbox updates is a much longer process, hence why it is coming to Steam first. I just want to stress this as Xbox One hasn't been forgotten it just takes slightly longer to get to the same stage :)
