CHICAGO, IL – October 15, 2026 – Today, Stern Pinball, Inc., the world’s largest manufacturer of pinball games, revealed and released a technologically advanced new pinball experience celebrating one of the most iconic and influential rock bands of all time – AC/DC Remastered.

AC/DC is widely regarded as one of the most popular rock bands in music history, with a legacy that spans decades and more than 200 million albums sold. The band’s landmark album, Back in Black, has sold more than 50 million copies, and their signature hits “Thunderstruck” and “Back in Black” continue to generate billions of streams. Now, that timeless legacy returns to the playfield with AC/DC Remastered by Stern Pinball, bringing a celebrated pinball classic to a new generation of players. AC/DC Remastered by Stern Pinball is available now in Premium and Limited Edition (LE) models.

In AC/DC Remastered by Stern Pinball, players will experience an updated and enhanced version of the pinball classic, fully integrated on the SPIKE 3 platform. Players must be prepared to be Thunderstruck with refined mechanical updates and upgrades, featuring an all-new redesigned lower playfield and new wizard modes including three new timed modes: “Oi Mania,” “Thunder Ramps,” and “High Voltage”.

For Those About to Rock, a re-engineered pinball-firing cannon with a custom-molded cannon sculpt has been upgraded along with the Rock N Roll Train ball diverter featuring a custom-molded AC/DC locomotive train sculpt. A revised and custom-molded Hells Bells swinging bash toy and custom-molded TNT detonator box with an animated plunger add even more action to this rock concert under glass.

AC/DC Remastered by Stern Pinball also includes an updated back panel with an illuminated song titleboard, upgraded stainless steel ramp entrances with laser-cut AC/DC logos, and an added right loop spinning target. All-new RGB playfield lighting is fully in sync with optional cabinet and speaker expression lighting.

Players can rock out to eight new AC/DC songs added to the original 2012 song list in AC/DC Remastered by Stern Pinball, along with six new selectable song modes.
