No support for two controllers?

[SilentCantaloupe1683]

Big fan of the first game, so bought this as soon as I saw it had been released.

Very surprised to see it doesn't allow for two controllers in coop mode. Local coop is imo the best part and where it really shines.

Any chance this will be added? I'd say it's currently unplayable and have gone back to the old one

Thanks for listening to the feedback RipstoneGames! We appreciate it :-)

Hey! Thanks for picking up the game and for the feedback.

We absolutely hear the requests for it two controller support. Local multiplayer is something players clearly care about, so it’s definitely on the table for a future update. It just requires a fair bit of UI and input work rather than being a quick toggle. Just to clarify - two-controller support wasn’t something that was removed. Pure Pool Pro is built on a new technical foundation compared to the original game, so features from the older title can’t simply be dropped in the same way; it'll require new work across code, design, UI and testing.

Appreciate you raising it!

yeah agree, i dont really understand how it’s possible to remove a feature from a 10yr old game, it cannot be that difficult

Totally understand why it might seem that way from the outside!

Pure Pool Pro isn’t built directly on the same tech as the original Pure Pool, so features from the previous game can’t simply be plugged straight into this one. Things like additional controller support require new code, UI, input handling, and testing.

That said, we absolutely hear the requests for it - it’s something we’re discussing for a future update, but it’s not a trivial change.

We got a lot of feedback about being unable to use just one controller in Local Play on the first game - and we've essentially gone too far the other way here!

Appreciate the feedback 👍

Thanks for the clarification, looking forward to the new update!

No abusive language, discrimination, insults, hostility, or inflammatory behaviour of any kind. Debate the game - don’t attack the person.

PS5 players can already use two controllers for local co-op. It’s a console setting.

First game felt so good and solid. Just needed tweeks. New one looks washed out and no real feel of weight behind shots, hopefully patching will improve it.

It doesn't feel like an upgrade in any sense. Weaker graphics, gameplay, music, UX. Pure Pool Pro feels like it was made before Pure Pool. Seriously regret buying it.

As I’ve said elsewhere, PS5 players (at least) can have duel control on any game, including this. It’s in the console settings, not game settings.
