The premise, in the publisher's words
Ball x Pit is a roguelike video game developed by Kenny Sun and published by Devolver Digital. It was released on macOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows and Xbox Series X/S in October 2025, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version released later that month. The game combines two separate gameplay loops, an Arkanoid-inspired action stage where the player defeats monsters by bouncing balls against them, and a city builder stage where resources collected can be used to improve buildings that grant new characters and abilities in the action stage.
How it plays
It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are action and survival. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 63 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
Ball x Pit holds a critic score of 83 out of 100. That places it above 85% of the 2,164 rated arcade games in our database, which average 70. Games released in 2025 averaged 78, so it scored 5 points above the year average. Player ratings track closely with critics at 79, across 61 votes.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 18 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 54 hrs, roughly 3 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-2500K / AMD Athlon X4 860K, 8 GB RAM and GeForce GTX 750 / Radeon R7 260X. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 1GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it costs, and where
Storefront pricing varies enormously by country: Pakistan is the cheapest region we track at $5.49 (about $5.49), while United Kingdom pays £12.99 — 3.1 times more. In Pakistan it is priced at Rs 5 on Steam, which is about $5.49.
What it launched against
Ball x Pit launched on 15 October 2025, within three weeks of Battlefield 6, Ghost of Yotei, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 and ARC Raiders. It reviewed better than 1 of the 4. It arrived 5 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Battlefield 6, Ghost of Yotei, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, ARC Raiders.
