TopSpin 2K25 is launching later this month, and here are all the game modes that will be available when you first boot up the game.
For the first time in over 13 years, TopSpin is returning to modern consoles. So far, we know the players, brands, and venues coming to the game, and now, the latest Centre Court Report has outlined all the game modes.
What Game Modes Are In TopSpin 2K25?
TopSpin 2K25 will feature the following game modes at launch: Exhibition matches, TopSpin Academy, 2K Tour, MyCAREER, and World Tour.
The TopSpin Academy, guided by the voice of tennis icon John McEnroe, gives players everything they need to master core gameplay mechanics. You will be put through a series of detailed tutorials that include Basic Lessons, which focus on tennis fundamentals, such as positioning, timing, and shot selection, followed by Advanced Lessons and Playstyle Lessons. Each lesson will provide you with a short segment of dialogue before you are tasked with putting theory into practice.
Exhibition matches are the standard TopSpin 2K25 matches where you can play offline in single-player singles or doubles with an AI partner or in local multiplayer with up to 4 friends. Online Exhibition multiplayer will be available at launch with skill-based random matchmaking and cross-platform play. However, you won’t be able to play online multiplayer with friends at launch.
Advanced Game Modes
2K Tour in TopSpin 2K25 allows you to choose a licensed pro and challenge another player. This will earn you points to climb the 2K Tour leaderboard, and there will be particular featured pros and objectives that rotate daily.
MyCAREER allows players to create their own custom MyPLAYER and rise through the Men’s or Women’s Tour rankings by competing in tournaments, including all four Grand Slam tournaments, and aiming for that coveted World #1 ranking. There’s a wide variety of customization options available, including hairstyles, skin tones, body types, prosthetics, apparel, animations, and play styles. Plus, you’ll also have to manage fatigue and energy levels by deciding which events to play and skip.
World Tour is the ultimate test and is designed to be the end-game boss in TopSpin 2K25. Once you have beat MyCAREER, you can head into World Tour, which tasks you with taking your custom MyPLAYER online to challenge other MyPLAYERs from around the world. By winning matches and tournaments, players gain Tournament Points, climb the global leaderboard, and claim glory. You’ll also earn XP and VC; both are crucial for improving MyPLAYER attributes, unlocking coaches, animations, apparel, and much more.
The TopSpin 2K25 Deluxe and Grand Slam Editions will be available on April 23, 2024. This is 3 days before the Standard and Cross-Gen Editions release on Friday, April 26, 2024. If you want to check out our Preview or more news and articles on the game, you can view our Guide Hub here.
