As we bid a warm welcome to 2026, there’s plenty to look back on in the pinball industry throughout the final month of last year. So, Jonathan from Pinball Magazine and Martin from Pinball News are here to bring you all the details in the December 2025 edition of the Pinball Industry News PINcast.

The recent slew of new game announcements has been quickly followed up by the release of numerous accessories. From toppers to shooter rods, from lighting kits to backglasses, there has never been a wider choice of add-ons available.

The start of the year marked the fifteenth anniversary of Jack Gaurnieri’s launch of Jersey Jack Pinball. There have been many changes to both the company and the wider industry over the past decade-and-a-half, so Jack joins Jonathan and Martin to look back to the start of the company and how it compares now.

At the start of 2011 there was only one company actively manufacturing pinballs. Fifteen years later there are more than fifteen companies, with more poised to show their hands in 2026. Some upcoming titles are common knowledge, while others are still mere speculation. To start the year, Jonathan and Martin run down the known knowns and the known unknowns coming up over the next twelve months.

Then there are the results of the latest free game sweepstakes from Stern and Jersey Jack, production updates and order closing dates for games and accessories, a new collaboration for Pedretti Gaming, a rebrand for American Pinball together with the promise of new games soon, and lots of new code for titles new and old.

Catch all this and much more in this latest packed PINcast episode covering all the excitement in the pinball world throughout December 2025 and the first few days of January 2026.

Meanwhile, Spooky Pinball, Dutch Pinball Exclusive and HEXA Pinball all announced details of their next releases, even if they weren’t quite ready to show them yet.

Stern Pinball gave their Inside Connected All Access a boost, introducing new home leaderboards, free or discounted shipping, a factory tour and other perks for the $99 annual subscription.
