TopSpin 2K25 Now Available To Pre-Order

TopSpin 2K25 brings the iconic tennis franchise back for the first time in over a decade.

Mar 12, 2024 March 12th, 2024

With the welcome return of the Top Spin series - now stylised as TopSpin - announced earlier this year, TopSpin 2K25 is officially available for pre-order.

As the 2024 Indian Wells Open continues on, 2K Games has today announced that TopSpin 2K25 is available to pre-order for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC. The game will release on Friday 26 April, with early access available from Tuesday 23 April for those who order the Deluxe or Grand Slam editions. Roger Federer and Serena Williams will be on the cover of the Standard and digital-only Grand Slam editions, while the Deluxe release features Carlos Alcarez, Iga Świątek, and Francis Tiafoe on its cover art.

TopSpin 2K25 has, amongst other things, a roster of over 24 playable pros, a John McEnroe-voiced training center, and will feature a mammoth 48 courts, 15 of which are based on real-life venues such as the Indian Wells Tennis Garden home of the currently-ongoing 2024 BNP Paribas Open.

On being featured in TopSpin 2K25, BNP Paribas Open Chief Marketing Officer Philippe Dore enthused:

"We’re excited to be one of the venues included in TopSpin 2K25. It’s great to be able to offer fans the opportunity to play at the iconic Indian Wells Tennis Garden, and the team at 2K have done a fantastic job recreating the venue. For those who can’t be here with us this week at the BNP Paribas Open, this is a great way to experience what Tennis Paradise is like.”

The Top Spin franchise began life in 2003 on the Xbox, before eventually making its way to PlayStation 2 and PC. A major favourite of many a gamer, up until now the series had sadly not seen a release since 2011's Top Spin 4 on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii.

Now, Top Spin - well, TopSpin - is back on the horizon, ready to serve up what should hopefully be a fantastic return for this beloved franchise.
