It's been exactly one year since Pinball entered Early Access. To celebrate this milestone, we're marking both the game's first anniversary and 30 years of Infected Mushroom.
In addition to our monthly Concert Ticket Challenge, we are running a special Anniversary Challenge throughout August!
Prizes: As usual, the top 10 players win free concert tickets—plus, the top 3 on the leaderboard will each receive an exclusive IM30 merchandise bundle, shipped directly to their doorstep!
