Smashing down aces – TopSpin 2K25 takes to the court | TheXboxHub

We’ve been waiting years for a new TopSpin game, one to go right up against the very best tennis games currently on the market. And in TopSpin 2K25, it’s that which we are getting. Ready to take to the court and smash down some aces?

We won’t lie – we have been extremely hyped for the launch of TopSpin 2K25 on Xbox, PlayStation and PC ever since 2K revealed that the iconic tennis franchise would be making a return. And today the opportunity arises to grab for the racquet and start showing off our ball skills, with an early access launch, some three days ahead of the official street release. 

Take to the court early

TopSpin 2K25 is due to launch – officially – on April 26th 2024, but today you can get your tennis career off to a decent start, picking up either the Deluxe Edition or Grand Slam Edition of the game. Alternatively, if you don’t want to spend the extra cash, hold tight for the Standard Edition as it arrives in a few days. 

Whichever version you choose, you can be sure that TopSpin 2K25 will deliver. Playable on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S (optimised), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 or PC, this is a game that will provide everything you will ever need from a tennis title. Grand Slams are front and centre, tennis legends walk out onto court, rising stars competing against them. 

All the iconic venues that you know and love are in place too, whilst John McEnroe himself will put you through your paces at the TopSpin Academy. With MyPLAYER letting you customise, TopSpin 2K25 should appeal to all tennis gaming fans. 

And yes, we’ve been playing TopSpin 2K25 for a little while already, pushing out a review in the process. Spoiler alert: you’re looking at a 4/5 review score, with the following summing things up…

‘TopSpin 2K25 is a welcome return for the franchise and a solid reboot. The gameplay is strong, fast and fluid and exactly what you would expect from a tennis game.’

Which version of TopSpin 2K25 should you buy?

There are various options available from the digital storefronts of your favourite console or PC. For us Xbox folk, the Xbox Store holds the key to the Standard Cross-Gen Edition of TopSpin 2K25 from April 26th. Before that, the Deluxe Edition (£89.99), give 3-days early access as well as the £11.99 Rookie Rise Pack, bolstering your MyPLAYER career. 

We think the TopSpin 2K25 Grand Slam Edition is the way to go though. Yes, there’s no getting away from the fact that this will set you back £104.99, but consider it includes everything in the Deluxe Edition, plus the £32.99 All Access Pass, a £8.99 Premium Centre Court Pass, the All Access Cosmetic Pack and more, and you’ve got one hell of a package. 

Those different editions of TopSpin 2K25 should be available on PlayStation and PC too.
