When Kinetika first approached us with their vision, it was immediately clear that this wasn't simply another gaming project. Their ambition was to create a pool experience that genuinely captured the feel, precision and excitement of the sport we love.
One of the biggest challenges in any cue sports simulation is accurately recreating the physics of the game. Pool players instantly recognise when ball reactions, cushions, spin transfer, collisions or cue ball movement don't behave as they would on a real table. For us, authenticity was non-negotiable.
Ultimate Pool worked closely with the Kinetika development team throughout the process, providing expertise and real-world insight into how the game should play. Our professional players, officials and technical team were able to test, review and challenge every aspect of the gameplay mechanics to ensure that the movement, reactions and overall feel reflected genuine table conditions.
What impressed us most was Kinetika's commitment to getting every detail right. Their technology and development capabilities allowed them to continually refine the physics engine, while our involvement helped ensure those refinements translated into an authentic pool experience. The result is a game that not only looks incredible but behaves in a way that players will recognise and appreciate.
This collaboration represents a perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and real-world sporting expertise. Kinetika brought the innovation, creativity and technical excellence, while Ultimate Pool contributed the knowledge and experience of operating one of the world's leading professional pool organisations.
Technology and sport, built together.
The collaboration combined Kinetika’s physics-led development with Ultimate Pool’s real-world sporting expertise.
We're incredibly proud to have played a part in helping shape a product that pushes the boundaries of what is possible in cue sports gaming. We believe players will immediately notice the difference in the realism, responsiveness and attention to detail that has gone into every shot.
This is more than just a game – it's a demonstration of what can be achieved when technology and sport come together with a shared commitment to excellence.
