We’re delighted to announce that 1,000,000 seekers have played BALL x PIT since launch, and you know what that means: Kenny has to make more BALL x PIT.

We will be releasing three – that’s right, THREE – new content updates in 2026, FREE for anyone who owns the game, and each update will bring:

NEW BALLS

NEW EVOLUTIONS

NEW BUILDINGS

NEW CHARACTERS

AND MORE!

In January, raise your pinky for the Regal update.

In April, slink into the darkness for the Shadow update.

Then get back to basics in July with the Naturalist update.

If you’re one of the many players hopelessly hooked on BALL x PIT, then brace yourself for a whole lot more of everything you love.

Just when you thought you were out, we pull you back in.

We’ll have more information about the first of these free updates in the very near future, but until then, get back in the pit: you got balls to fuse.

Well met, fellow ball enthusiasts!

Join us for an ordinary day in Ballbylon, where townsfolk gather around the treasure seekers as they make their way toward the pit, exchanging whispers and gossip.

The latest gossip says that the Cohabitants might have something to do with the disappearance of children and pets in town — and that the balls and the strange plague spreading through the town could somehow be connected.

Check out this awesome animated short from our friends at mashed!

Thank you to each and every one of you who contributed to these amazing numbers. We couldn’t have asked for a better reception for our little balls game.

And speaking of balls…

Like the balls themselves, BALL x PIT has evolved since its conception - from a dark abyss of simple forms to an unforgiving gauntlet of pixelated terrors.

We made this little video showing how BALL x PIT transformed from its early 2022 prototype to the full 2025 release - we’re feeling nostalgic.

Also! BALL x PIT is taking part in the Roguelike Celebration Steam Sale, an annual virtual conference all about Roguelikes!

We’ve also seen a lot of traction on our socials lately. If you’re not in yet, we’d love for you to join us on any of our channels to get the latest dev news, support, and love from fellow ball enjoyers. You can follow us on X/Twitter[x.com], Bluesky[bsky.app], Reddit and Discord[discord.gg].

Thank you all again for your support.

And… we’re not done with balls yet.

Stay tuned!

Hello treasure seekers!

What a WILD ride these last 24 hours have been!

In the first day of BALL x PIT's release, we peaked at 15,000+ concurrent players, and are currently sitting at Overwhelmingly Positive reviews! We couldn’t ask for a better start for our little ball game. THANK YOU ALL FROM THE PIT OF OUR HEARTS!

Now, you probably have questions about BALL x PIT - its development, and what’s coming next. So we’ve prepared an AMA session on the r/Xbox subreddit tomorrow Friday Oct 17th at 1PM ET / 6PM BST / 7PM CEST, and you’re all invited!

Kenny himself & friends, along with some folks from Devolver, will be there to answer your questions. Don’t be afraid to ask! 

Where: The r/Xbox subreddit

When: Friday Oct 17th at 1PM ET / 6PM BST / 7PM CEST

Thank you again for your support, and hope to see you all tomorrow!

But be warned: it’s addictive — so much that our voice-over guy literally breaks down halfway through the trailer:

In BALL x PIT, you'll battle your way down the Pit - exploring new realms, facing hordes of monsters, recruiting fellow Seekers, launching hundreds of balls, and creating wild evolutions - all while rebuilding New Ballbylon.

We’ve seen you pour dozens of hours into the demo, and we’re really excited that you can finally dive into the full game. Here’s hoping it steals a few dozen more!

Remember, BALL x PIT is Steam Deck Verified - so you can take the balls with you anywhere and play seamlessly.

Thank you all for the amazing support throughout this journey - we truly hope you enjoy BALL x PIT. And tell your friends to play BALL x PIT so we can sell more BALL x PIT, so Kenny can keep making more BALL x PIT, so I can keep playing BALL x PIT.

Hello treasure seekers!

Hope you're all ready and have cleared your agendas, because we're launching TOMORROW!!!

Since the embargo for creators has already lifted, we wanted to share some FAQ with you regarding the Twitch integration for BALL x PIT, which is now available.

With this Twitch integration, streamers will be able to let their communities become a part of their excursions into Ballbylon’s depths—from voting on fusions, upgrades, as well as providing curses and blessings, viewers will become an essential part of the streamer’s experience. For better or for worse.

• Communal Decisions: Whether it’s Upgrades or Ball Fusions, your viewers vote between options to truly play the game with you.

• Curses and Blessings: Periodically, a Curse or Bless event will start. Viewers will be voting on whether they want to help or hinder you by choosing between curses (hindrances) and blessings (boons) that throw curveballs into your run.

• The False Messiah: The False Messiah is a special Hunter character that is unlocked upon activating the Twitch integration. This character is levelled up separately, and can have the abilities of one of the other characters in the game.

For step-by-step guidance on how to install and use the Twitch extension for BALL x PIT, you can visit
