Scorbit @ Pinball Expo 2025 Recap
What an amazing few days in sunny Schaumburg, Illinois at Pinball Expo last weekend! We had an amazing time seeing and chatting with so many passionate pinball enthusiasts, and we are absolutely overwhelmed by the response to the exciting news we shared at the show. For those who couldn’t make it to Pinball Expo, here’s a quick recap of what we announced and what you can expect from Scorbit in the weeks and months ahead!
A huge thanks to Jonathan Joosten from Pinball Magazine and Martin Ayub from Pinball News for doing an amazing job covering the seminars at Pinball Expo and for providing the video of our talk so everyone at home can watch.
During our talk at Pinball Expo, we gave an overview of the exciting announcements from our product launch including:
- Digital Payments, Competitions & Jackpots
- The All-New Scorbit Mobile App
- Next-Gen Hardware for Pinball Machines
- Introducing…Tap to Play!
- Scorbit Console for Venues
With the new Scorbit platform, pinball players can expect an even better connected pinball experience from the ground up. With more opportunities to find and play pinball and to win real money at their favorite pinball locations, Scorbit is bringing the fun of competition to everyone!
But that’s not all we announced at Pinball Expo! We had some additional exciting news for owners of pinball machines interested in getting their machines connected to the Scorbit platform.
SCORBITRON 2.0 – Now Available for Purchase!
As we announced, for Home Collections, the Scorbitron 2.0 is available for purchase starting at $359. We’re also super excited to extend a special offer to current and existing owners of the Scorbitron 1.0 devices who are interested in upgrading. Coming very soon, we’ll be offering an Upgrade Special for Scorbitron 1.0 owners who can trade in their devices to receive $100 off the price of a new Scorbitron 2.0!
It’s important to note that upgrading is not mandatory at this time. Scorbitron 1.0 will continue to work in pinball machines and have access to all the great features of the Scorbit Platform from live score tracking to achievements to ScorbitVision for the time being. But, if you’d like the latest and greatest and you want to unlock new features with the new Scorbitron 2.0 device, then stay tuned for more details to come about upgrading!
NEW INTEGRATIONS: Pulp Fiction and The Big Lebowski
One of our favorite aspects of the Scorbit platform is working with the fantastic people making modern pinball machines. As the many owners of one of the best games released in years, PULP FICTION from Play Mechanix/CGC know, Scorbit integration has been in the works for a while and during Pinball Expo we were excited to share an update that it’s nearly complete! We’ve entered the final phase of testing in collaboration with Play Mechanix and we should see new code enabling Scorbit integration on PULP FICTION shipping very soon!
Keeping with the theme of innovative pinball machines based on some of our favorite movies of all time, we couldn’t be more psyched to get to announce that Scorbit integration is coming to THE BIG LEBOWSKI from Dutch Pinball! This has been in the works for a while now and the fine folks at Dutch Pinball have been so awesome to work with, we know this one is going to be something special. More to come as this integration gets closer to shipping.
As a reminder, manufacturers can implement Scorbit via our free Software Development Kit (SDK), which enables a pinball machine to connect to the internet and the Scorbit platform without any additional hardware. And if you own a machine with Scorbit integrated, there’s no cost ever to connect to the Scorbit platform and give yourself and your players the ability to track and log scores on the leaderboard. It all just works, thanks to Scorbit!
Be sure to follow Scorbit on Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Facebook, and join our Discord to stay up to date as we roll out new features and make announcements on where you can play pinball on Scorbit enabled pinball machines around the world.
Thanks again to everyone we met at Pinball Expo, to everyone who came to our event at Enterrium, and extra special thanks to Colin at Kineticist for not only allowing us to co-sponsor the party but for also covering our launch and doing a great job covering the Scorbit story from our humble beginnings to today. If you haven’t, we recommend you give it a read.
