'Pure Pool Pro' Snooker Expansion Pack Comes To All Platforms In December - Trailer

by Rainier on Nov. 5, 2026 @ 10:06 a.m. PST

Pure Pool Pro is the next evolution of the pool simulation series featuring 8K native visuals.

Welcome to Pure Pure Pool Pro; the ultimate pool simulation. Play solo or online, master every game type, and compete in high-stakes tournaments in immersive venues.

Pure Pool Pro sets a new benchmark for the most immersive and lifelike cue sports game ever, featuring stunning 8K native visuals, ultra-realistic physics, pinpoint-precise controls, and an all-new competitive arena built for the next generation of players. Every element has been refined to deliver the authentic feel of real pool, right in your living room.

This next-generation installment introduces more detail than ever before, a completely redesigned interface, and the groundbreaking TetraDome; a futuristic, 1,000-seat pool arena that imagines the future of the sport at its highest level. With smarter AI, a deep ‘Tour’ mode, and rewarding progression and customisation, Pure Pool Pro is the most immersive and visually stunning pool experience ever created.

Ripstone announced Pure Pool Pro: Snooker Expansion Pack, a major new add-on for Pure Pool Pro. It launches on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam on December 3, 2026.

The Snooker Expansion Pack brings full-frame snooker to Pure Pool Pro, with authentic snooker physics, regulation-sized equipment, a dedicated snooker career path, new challenges and modes, 90 unlockable rewards and the brand-new Wengcheng Snooker Arena. The above new announcement trailer showcases the expansion's arena, modes and gameplay.

The Snooker Expansion Pack was built from the ground up as a dedicated snooker experience. It features regulation table dimensions, pocket cuts and ball sizes, and physics re-tuned for the longer table and the tactical, positional game that snooker demands. To make sure it plays as close as possible to the way the real game does, the new snooker modes were playtested by vetted members of the Pure Pool Pro community who play snooker regularly in real life.

The team has also overhauled opponent AI across snooker and pool, addressing one of the most common pieces of community feedback since launch. Opponents now play in more varied and realistic ways, with far better positional awareness. The update rolls out to all Pure Pool Pro players on 3rd December alongside the Snooker Expansion Pack, so pool players will feel the difference too.

“We’re thrilled to be bringing a high-quality snooker experience to Pure Pool Pro - our first snooker game since Snooker 19. We're also delighted that the opponent AI overhaul means every Pure Pool Pro player will feel an improvement, not just those picking up the expansion.” - George Holland, Marketing Manager at Ripstone.
