With Top Spin 2K25 now exceedingly close to its April 26 launch date, we were able to pry a few tidbits about the long-awaited fifth installment in the tennis franchise from Game Director Remi Ercolani. In our interview, we received confirmation that, unfortunately, online doubles will not be available at launch.
TopSpin 2K25 won’t support online doubles at launch, but we’re hoping to offer more options in the future. Each mode will have its own specificities and unique features to keep players motivated to return and play daily, and all ranked modes will have leaderboards for fans to keep an eye on the competition.
We tried to get clarification on whether the response referred just to four players joining online or even to local co-op going online. The absence of even the latter would be particularly disappointing, given that even the very first Top Spin game supported the feature over twenty years ago on the original Xbox console. We won't have to wait long to verify that ourselves, though, as review codes are coming shortly. Either way, we hope Hangar 13 can rectify the absence of full-fledged online doubles before long, as that's one of the main reasons many fans were looking forward to the game.
As a reminder, Top Spin 2K25 can be pre-ordered now for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X. The Deluxe Edition is available for $99.99 and includes the Standard Edition (with dual-gen entitlement for console), Under the Lights Pack, plus New Wave Pack featuring Alternate Outfits for Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Świątek, and Francis Tiafoe, plus a collection of additional apparel, and the Rookie Rise Pack which features a MyPlayer Boost and 1700 VC. The Deluxe Edition also comes with three days of early access, making the game available for play from April 23.
The Grand Slam Edition is available for $119.99. In addition to the Standard Edition (with dual-gen entitlement for console) and all bonus content included in the Deluxe Edition (including the early access), it comes with the Grand Slam Champions Pack, which features a special Championship Racket and Champion Serve, as well as the All Access Pass which includes six post-launch Premium Centre Court Pass Seasons, as well as eight bonus cosmetic items.

The recently released TopSpin 2K25 is a fantastic tennis title, but the game's currently being blasted for its always online requirement. Yep, this is one of those games where you need a connection to the servers before you can actually play it — even if you just want to grind through career mode or enjoy a local match.
TopSpin 2K25 fans are lashing out at 2K following widespread server issues that have impacted the game's single-player mode. Players are rallying against the game's always-online requirement, a common complaint made against a plethora of modern-day video games and one that is heavily affecting TopSpin 2K25.

As we come to the end of another cold and grey week, I’m heading into London to see what’s what at WASD. Before getting to that, though, I’ve had a few different games on the go this past week, with the remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door in my Switch and the puzzle-sniper action of Children of the Sun on my PC. I did also squeeze in one solitary mission in Helldivers 2 – every little bit helps when spreading Managed Democracy!

It’s been 13 years since PlayStation fans last got their hands on a digital racquet in the TopSpin series. In that time, we’ve jumped two console generations, and the industry has seen a massive shift towards the live service model. Put together, what does that mean for the series’ return in TopSpin 2K25? Good things, apparently, as Hangar 13 has cooked up a fun, flashy, and addictive tennis title that you’ll enjoy coming to grips with and love mastering.
It has been a while since we last saw an updated TopSpin game. The last time 2K released a tennis game in their signature style was in 2011 when we all enjoyed Top Spin 4. In the meantime, WWE, NBA, and even LEGO have had their moment in the limelight, while tennis went unappreciated. If you have been sitting around waiting for a 2K tennis game, your time is now. 2K is almost ready to release TopSpin 2K25, and here is everything you need to know about it.
TopSpin 2K25 is about to be served up on PS5, and after playing the game at a hands-on preview, it’s quietly become one of our most anticipated releases of the year. From top tennis talent to this long-dormant franchise getting the 2K treatment, there’s plenty of reason for us to be excited — but what about those behind every swing, serve and set? We managed to speak with Game Director Remi Ercolani to learn about tech advances, post-launch support, and why now is the perfect time for the series to return.
