It’s been this author’s most wanted title for eons, and now it’s almost upon us: TopSpin 2K25 will launch on 26th April – and it’s bringing all four officially licensed Grand Slams with it. That’s right, you’ll be able to compete in all of tennis’ most famous tournaments in MyCAREER mode, spanning the Aussie Open, French Open, US Open, and, of course, Wimbledon. That’s a lot of tennis!
You’ll also be able to compete in various other iconic events, like the ongoing Indian Wells. In all, there’ll be a total of 48 courts in the game, including 15 real-life venues. In addition to that, there’ll be over 24 playable pros in the final release, including current stars like Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Świątek, Frances Tiafoe, as well as sporting icons like Roger Federer and Serena Williams – the two of whom will be on the cover.

A training mode named TopSpin Academy will be hosted by John McEnroe, while you’ll be able to test your MyPLAYER both offline in World Tour and online in 2K Tour, which will feature full crossplay across all platforms.
Pre-orders, available from today, will all come bundled with the Under the Lights pack, which includes alternative outfits for Serena Williams and Roger Federer, the Wilson Nightfall Bundle, and Night-Time Majors. The Deluxe Edition will also bundle in a bunch of additional costumes, a MyPLAYER Boost, and 1,700 VC – so expect the same controversial levelling system from NBA 2K24.
Meanwhile, the Grand Slam Edition will come with all of the above, in addition to the All Access Pass, which includes six post-launch Premium Centre Court Pass Seasons, as well as eight bonus cosmetic items. While more information is due to follow through to launch, the Premium Centre Court Pass Seasons sound a lot like Battle Passes to us.
We were lucky enough to go hands on with the title last week, and you can read our TopSpin 2K25 PS5 preview through the link.

Tiafoe is such a random choice to be on the Deluxe Edition cover. I assumed it's because he's American, but there are three American male players ranked higher than him. Truly baffling to me. Is he very popular in the States, or something? Otherwise, it seriously worries me that they just didn't license many current players.
@Toilet_Goat Tennis games are always a bit odd with licensed players because there's no overall body handling likenesses, so they all have to be signed individually.
That makes it a bit of a nightmare, so I wouldn't expect LOADS of current players in the final game.
STOP MAKING PS4 GAMES!
@get2sammyb I find it quite concerning, because I'd have to imagine that if they got guys like Sinner or Zverev, they'd probably be on that cover instead (even if they're in, Medvedev or Rublev wouldn't be on the cover for obvious reasons). This leads me to wonder if the roster will mostly consist of legends. Or maybe Tiafoe is just very marketable, who knows.
Not sure about the player likeness for Carlos and Iga but excited for the game nonetheless.
Probably find if the game does well commercially it will get easier to get more players added to the game over time.
MyPLAYER Boost, VC coins... much worse than Top Spin of PS3.
Waited so long for a new entry, but with the foreshadowing of MACROtransactions included, I will have to wait for reviews and actual gamer feedback.
Been a long time since I've played a tennis game, and I would be excited. But I'm so cynical with sports/gambling simulators now a days. Even though the micro transactions already seem to be there, hopefully it'll be a couple iterations before the reach their final form with gambling influencers opening card packs on stream and faking surprise as they get their double elite legendary platinum Richard Krajicek card.
I don’t even care about the MTX at this point, I just want a good tennis game. Besides, if you play without spending extra money then it’s just like the old Mario Tennis and Golf RPG modes.
Was excited about this until I realised it has same levelling up system as NBA 2K, won’t buy another game from 2K until they stop the money farming.
