Global electronic trailblazers Infected Mushroom have officially entered the gaming world with the release of “Infected Mushroom: Pinball,” now available on Steam. Described as the most realistic and psychedelic pinball game ever created, this groundbreaking project merges immersive gameplay with the duo’s signature musical vision, opening a new frontier where music and technology collide.
The concept began six years ago when Erez Eisen, one half of Infected Mushroom, first experimented with early VR headsets. That experience sparked a question that would linger through years of world tours and constant music production: How do we create our own game? The answer came in the form of a perfectly timed message from Jussie, a visionary developer at Rayworks, who reached out with a proposal that set the wheels in motion.
From that initial conversation, a full-scale project emerged—coded entirely from scratch. The result is a dynamic PC VR experience that stays true to classic pinball mechanics while venturing into mind-bending new realms. “Infected Mushroom: Pinball” offers both standard desktop and VR gameplay, and even supports VPIN physical pinball machines, bringing the digital and analog worlds together like never before.
Players are launched into a visually stunning, dark-themed universe infused with imagery pulled directly from Infected Mushroom’s iconic album art. The soundtrack—custom composed by the duo—immerses players in an evolving soundscape while they battle through missions. Complete those missions, and you’ll be transported into surreal mini-games, such as becoming a fly navigating through trippy dreamscapes populated by bizarre, otherworldly creatures.
But the experience doesn’t stop there. As part of their ongoing global tour, Infected Mushroom will host monthly tournaments tied to the game, with real-world rewards including exclusive concert tickets. It’s more than just a pinball game—it’s a living, breathing extension of the band’s creative universe.
“Infected Mushroom: Pinball” is available now for PC VR and desktop via Steam, inviting fans to experience their music and mind-expanding visuals like never before.
