The Definitive Cue Sports Experience?
Pure Pool earned a loyal following by delivering one of the most authentic virtual cue sports experiences on consoles, and Pure Pool Pro looks to build on those solid foundations in every department.
The biggest attraction remains the table itself. Hyper-realistic ball physics combine with precise controls to recreate the tactical side of pool, rewarding careful shot selection, spin control and positional play just as much as spectacular pots.
Whether you’re a complete newcomer or someone who’s spent years around a real table, the game aims to offer an experience that’s easy to pick up while still leaving plenty of room to master.
Career, Competition And Crossplay
There’s no shortage of ways to put your cue skills to the test. Players can dive into dedicated 8-Ball and 9-Ball career modes, sharpen their techniques through solo skill challenges or head online for ranked competitive matches.
Cross-platform multiplayer is supported too, allowing Xbox players to face opponents across other systems, while the recently introduced ranked modes bring an extra level of competition for those chasing leaderboard success.
On the technical side, Xbox owners are getting the polished version of the experience, with native 4K at 60fps on Xbox Series X and 1440p at 60fps on Xbox Series S.
Customise Your Time At The Table
Alongside the base game, several optional cosmetic packs are available for players who want to personalise their experience.
A Free Item Pack adds extra ball sets, player cards, baize designs and an animated crest at no additional cost, while three premium DLC packs – Cyber, Classic and Party (£3.99 each) – introduce themed cues, ball sets, table designs and animated crests to suit different tastes.
Later this year, players can also look forward to a Snooker Expansion Pack, bringing another iconic cue sport into the growing package.
Already One Of The Best Cue Sports Games On Xbox
We’ve already spent plenty of time with Pure Pool Pro, awarding it an impressive 4.5/5 in our review.
We concluded that “Pure Pool Pro is the best pool game around in my book… There is plenty to keep you busy through the campaign, while the multiplayer gives the game real longevity. It’s great fun to play and exciting to compete online.“
That’s high praise, but after spending time with its polished presentation, satisfying gameplay and wealth of content, it’s easy to see why this sequel has impressed. That all means that if you’ve been waiting for a modern cue sports game worthy of your Xbox library, this could well be your next break.
Pure Pool Pro is available now on Xbox Series X|S for £20.99 via the Xbox Store. Unfortunately, Pure Pool Pro is not part of Game Pass at launch.
