For Jaws fans looking for even more fun, Stern has created an updated code with new features, including Team Play and Co-op, where players can collaboratively play with friends, share progress and more. This update introduces new wizard modes including the “Wheel Award Final Wizard Mode” and the final “Smile you sonofa…. Wizard Mode.”

As Stern says, you’re gonna need a bigger gameroom.

The machine has a suggested retail price of $9,700. Fans will be able to check out the brand-new pinball machine at Stern Pinball’s official booth (#4029) and at the annual Stern Pop-up Arcade at the Marriott Marquis, July 24 – 27 during San Diego Comic-Con.
