Get ready now
Start your collection today
A .vpx table is the same file on every platform, so the tables you collect now are the ones you will play on iPhone. Every machine in the Pocket Pinball catalogue lists its VPX versions, who built them, what each one includes and where to download it.
Not sure what a table needs? The VPX glossary explains ROMs, NVRAM, PuP packs and the rest in a sentence each.
2,600+ machines
From 1930s pin games to tables built this year, each with its own page.
Every version listed
Who built each release, what it includes, and when it was updated.
What everyone plays
The charts rank the most played tables, updated every hour.
Until then

Not yet. Pocket Pinball is an Android app today. An iOS app is planned for the end of 2026.
When is Pocket Pinball coming to iOS?

Will it be free?

Will my tables work?
Pocket Pinball plays standard .vpx tables, the same files on every platform, so the tables you collect now are the ones you will play. A table that recreates a real machine also needs that machine's ROM.
