2K Sports has been looking to bolster its output of sports simulations of late, and it’s hinted that PGA Tour 2K21 has paved the pathway for its entry into golf. The game has sold a very respectable two million units to date, and Take-Two bigwig Strauss Zelnick hinted that his company is “just getting started” with the series.
“In terms of the PGA Tour 2K, we are incredibly excited about that the performance of that title,” he said. “And I'd like to say that, that we're not surprised. But I am personally a little bit surprised […] it's done fantastically well, we've sold around two million units or so which is a fantastic result. And we're just really getting started.”
Zelnick added that there are plans in place to continue with the franchise moving forward, so this won’t be a one-off thing. “This is something that we feel like it merits investment from our side,” he continued. “And that's something that we can really turn into a “very profitable and exciting franchise for us going forward for many years.”
2K Sports had hoped to add the likes of F1 to its annual sports game roster through the acquisition of Codemasters, but it was beaten to the punch by EA Sports in the end. However, it’s announced plans to create a new NFL game, which is likely to be more akin to NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 as it doesn’t have access to the simulation rights.

I am one of the 2 million inadvertently. Go it as an Xmas present but to be honest its still in its wrapper along with Crash, AC valhalla and Control. Need to get round to giving it a go but can't stop playing Destruction All-stars and Dark souls trilogy.
Shows how out of touch I am with golf games - I thought the PGA games were still published by EA!
I can’t stop looking at the people in the back in that photo, anyone of them could be agent 47, awaiting his kill shot 😂
Awesome game but it needs a ps5 update...I NEED A PS5 UPDATE..!
I'll never ever buy another hb studios game.
After spunking fifty quid on this POS none of my stats saved, after a month of playing I gave up.
*****.
I think it sold fairly well due to it being the only real golf sim there is. I personally think its rubbish. It looks the same as the old Tiger Woods games did years ago. It should look far better with the power of the new consoles.
Forget the create you own courses and concentrate on the basic game. I far preferred the old set up of Tiger Woods golf games. Its almost as bad as the newish Snooker game.
Rory McRory was a blast 😶
