Though my love affair with Ball X Pit earlier this year was relatively short, it was intense—I ended up giving it 80% in our review, and I'd definitely count it as one of my most memorable roguelike experiences in a year where I've played the hell out of the genre.
Given the huge success the game has gone on to enjoy, ongoing support seemed inevitable. According to PC Gamer's official data partner, Newzoo, Ball X Pit has accumulated at least 744,000 players (with a majority on Xbox, where the game was available on Game Pass). But even still I'm surprised how much developer Kenny Sun has announced for 2026. Coming soon is not just one update, but three, spread out over the first half of the year.
