Pure Pool Pro | Dev Diary #7 – Our Free Steam Demo Lands Tomorrow!

[p]Hello cue sports fans! 👋[/p][p]Surprise! Pure Pool Pro’s free Steam Demo goes live tomorrow, Wednesday, 1st October 2025. This is your chance to get an early taste of the highly anticipated sequel to our critically acclaimed cue sports series.
[/p][p]This demo is a slightly updated build of the one currently being used in Closed Beta. It’s still technically in “Beta,” so you may notice some rough edges - but its performance has proven stable enough for wider release and will help us gather vital feedback on performance and gameplay ahead of final optimisation.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]What’s in the Pure Pool Pro Demo[/h2][p]Freeplay in the Rackhaus[/p]

• [p]Rack up in our stylish new skyscraper venue, the Rackhaus. Spend as much time as you like getting to grips with Pure Pool Pro’s refined physics and mechanics.[/p]

[p]Practice Matches in 8-Ball & 9-Ball
Test yourself against four lifelike AI opponents:[/p]
