Experience a living, breathing, connected Pool Hall from the convenience of your own home and indulge in Pure Pool’s spectacular visuals and signature, super-smooth gameplay.

Improving on the formula of Hustle Kings, the team at VooFoo has achieved a whole new level of realism in Pure Pool - with their fine-tuned physics engine and beautiful graphics. But there's way more than responsive balls and HD cloth to look forward to in the ultimate next-gen pool game! This generation of console has already got balls and Pure Pool delivers a connected experience both on and offline, comparable only to real life pool.

Connect. Spectate. Compete.

Whether you wish to hone your skills solo or weigh up against the competition Pure Pool has been built from the ground-up on the premise of connecting players. As a result the game will immerse you in a living, breathing pool hall, with all the buzz and vibrancy of a real pool-playing environment!  


Pure Pool has been fully optimised for Nintendo Switch and offers stunning 1080p visuals alongside a full suite of pool and snooker game modes, to bring Nintendo Switch players the definitive rendition of cue sports; whether playing at home or on the go.

The Nintendo Switch edition of Pure Pool offers players a no-compromise experience, taking full advantage of the platform in every way possible. Pure Pool is a technical marvel, running at 1080p docked and 720p handheld with all of the game’s high-end visual features, all at a solid 60 frames per second. Offering the full range of control options supported by the Nintendo Switch, Pure Pool’s myriad of playstyles ensures that whatever the setup, players will be cueing up and potting balls in no time.

Pure Poolon Switch features a host of local and online multiplayer modes, including Cross-Play support with Steam and the option to play online against stored DNA player profiles. Global leaderboards and rankings allow players to track their performance across the Pure Pool player base whilst challenging members of the global community in Free-play, Two-player, Leagues, 8-ball, 9-ball, Blackball, Killer and Accumulator modes. All snooker content from the original Pure Pool DLC is included too, complete with online and local support for anyone that prefers the stricter rules of the gentleman’s game.

“We’ve worked extremely hard to ensure that Pure Pool offers Nintendo Switch players the definitive pool and snooker experience on the platform,” said Hollie Pattison of Ripstone Games. “Everything from the visuals, performance, game modes, control options and snooker DLC is included in the Switch version with no compromises and we’re really proud of what has been achieved by VooFoo. Pure Pool offers everything you could want from a billiards simulation and more, and we can’t wait to welcome Nintendo Switch players onto the baize later this year.”

Players will be able to step straight into the climactic Pool Hall and immerse themselves in unprecedented hyper realism. Whether you’re planning to weigh up the competition and hone your skills or rack-up and compete against the best – Pure Pool is the closest you’ll get to the real thing, without leaving your living room.

Pure Pool also offers live online multiplayer so you can compete against worthy opponents in both head-to-head matches and in global online leagues. As if that wasn't enough; Pure Pool will also track your individual gaming-style, creating a unique DNA profile as you play. You can even play against an AI rendition of your friends and foes when they're not online.
