About this game

Backspin

Play cue sports your way, in Mixed Reality or full VR. Backspin delivers accurate tables, spin-true cue ball physics, realistic throw, and natural table roll so every shot behaves as expected.

Real cue-sports variants

Play full-size snooker, American and English 8-ball, Chinese 8-ball, and American 9-ball. Each table is tuned to real dimensions and authentic pocket geometry.

Natural cue handling

Learn quickly with an intuitive aim-lock-strike mechanic, accurate bridge-hand support, and a toggleable rest and spider for difficult reach shots. Choose between simulation and arcade cueing modes, use the short in-table tutorial to get started, and refine your stroke in the free-play sandbox.

Choose how you play

Practice solo in Sandbox, take on challenging AI opponents, or play online using random matchmaking or private room codes. Mixed reality and full VR support, spatial audio, and smooth networking help every frame feel shared. Optional aim guides support beginners without changing the physics.

FAQ

Does it include full-size snooker?
