Snooker 19


Snooker 19 is a 2019 sports video game developed by Lab42 and published by Ripstone Games, based on the cue sport snooker. The game was released on 17 April 2019 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with the Nintendo Switch version coming out on 23 August 2019. All 128 players from the World Snooker Tour appear in the game, as do venues from all 26 tournaments, including Alexandra Palace and the Crucible Theatre.

Gameplay

Snooker 19 includes all officially licensed tournaments from the 2018/2019 snooker season. It features single-player, multiplayer and online multiplayer modes.
The game featured full likenesses for all tour players, and the Q School qualification events for the main tour. Matches include in-game commentary by Neal Foulds, and David Hendon, as well as refereeing by Brendan Moore. Multiplayer matches mirror real-life tournaments, with in-game tournaments co-existing with events, though all events are played under a "single table" set up.

Release

Prior to the release of Snooker 19, Joanne Williams accused the game of "massive prejudice" as the game's cover art did not feature Williams. Williams commented that the decision was due to him being over 40 years old and Welsh. This led to fans imposing pictures of a naked Williams over the cover art for the release.
