Big News on TopSpin 2K25 Discounts
Hey, so get this—TopSpin 2K25, you know, that 2K tennis game we’ve been waiting on forever—just got some insane price cuts, like, 70%! PC and console versions, both. So if you’re like me and have been eyeing it, now might be the time to pounce.
It was cooked up by Hangar 13 and hit the shelves April 2024. And surprise, surprise, the reviews are kinda all over the place. Critics seem to dig it, mostly, giving it a “Strong” on OpenCritic with a 75 average score. That’s like saying it’s a solid B effort…maybe? But gamers on Steam and the PlayStation/Xbox stores are giving it the cold shoulder with “Mixed” and barely-there stars. Not exactly a love fest.
Oh, but check this—we’re close to the game’s anniversary and bam, prices plummet. Base game went from $59.99 to $19.99. And if you had a thing for the Grand Slam Edition, it’s now $39.99 instead of a wallet-eating $119.99. Best deal, though, is the Deluxe. Started at $99.99, now it’s $29.99. That’s like getting a fancy steak dinner for the price of a burger.
This all kicked off around the Steam’s Zombies vs Vampires Fest. No clue what zombies and tennis have in common, but sure, why not? Weirdly, 2K didn’t even mention these cuts. Guess they like surprises. Their stuff usually gets cheaper over time, so maybe it’s not such a shocker. But TopSpin isn’t annual, so this was a bit unexpected.
So—do you grab it? Depends. If you’re looking for a tennis game with some depth, it’s worth it. Core gameplay’s praised, despite the grind and battle pass issues that bug some folks. And I mean, the graphics are sweet if you’re into that. But the stamina thing can be a pain. But hey, what options do we tennis lovers have these days?
By the way, Sega’s pulling Virtua Tennis Challenge from mobile stores. If you snag it now for free, you can keep it even after it disappears. Just in case you needed more tennis in your pocket.
Anyway—oh! Did I mention how hearing those ball smashes sounds like fireworks? I probably didn’t, but it sure feels like excitement, doesn’t it?
