Zen Pinball is a standalone pinball simulator for the PlayStation Network (PSN). It is essentially the PSN equivalent of Pinball FX, also made by Zen Studios. Many of the DLC tables are available for both games, however, the core tables for each are exclusive to their respective networks.
Zen Pinball's core tables on PSN are:
- El Dorado - an Aztec exploration theme. Minigames involve uncovering and securing treasure.
- Tesla - an electric/steampunk theme. Minigames are based around performing successful experiments.
- V12 - a car engine theme. Players perform various trick shots to upgrade parts of their car.
- Shaman - tribal theme with a volcano mini-playfield.
Players can switch through six different table views. Holding down a "free look" button allows the player to tilt the controller to move the camera around the table. Local and online multiplayer is supported, as well as leaderboards and worldwide tournaments.
Core tables included with the 3DS version are:
- Excalibur
- El Dorado
- Shaman
- Earth Defense
