Hello again, cue sports fans! 👋
We’ve got some exciting news to share: the Pure Pool Pro Closed Beta kicks off on Wednesday, 24th September 2025. The Beta is planned to run for two weeks, giving a selected bunch of you a first look at the game.
Sign-ups are still open through our Beta Sign Up Form - but spaces are limited. We’ll be contacting selected participants by email during the week beginning 15th September. Don’t forget: the Beta will be managed via a private Discord, so be sure to create an account in advance if you don’t already have one.
To keep production well on track, we’ve had to shift the scope slightly since our earlier plan. This build still offers plenty to sink your teeth into:
Freeplay in the Rackhaus – Rack up as many times as you like in the Rackhaus, our stylish new skyscraper venue. This is the place to spend plenty of time getting to grips with Pure Pool Pro’s physics and mechanics. Get comfortable and master each shot type in your arsenal.
Practice Matches – Face two lifelike AI opponents with contrasting difficulty: play Amber De Wit (Amateur) with full aim-line assistance, or take on Ethan Cruz (Focused) with limited aim-line support for a significantly tougher test. Each has their own distinctive play style.
A Brand-New Look – Soak in the atmosphere and admire the new visuals. New lighting with sharper reflections and detailed table surfaces, complete with baize fuzz! Note: please expect some unpolished visuals - or maybe the occasional lighting or reflection flicker - it’s still a work in progress!
Redesigned UI – A first look at our streamlined, modern interface. Again, your feedback will help us iron out the creases of some elements here. So expect the occasional bug - but this should give you a taste of how smooth we want the final experience to be.
We’re thrilled to finally let a bunch of you go hands-on with Pure Pool Pro. This Beta marks the beginning of an exciting run-up to launch! We'll be running another 'Ask the Devs' soon - so keep sharing your thoughts and questions about the beat below our posts. Wishlist Pure Pool Pro on Steam
