Tennis Video Game Renaissance: Top Spin and Tiebreak Set to Dominate
Tennis enthusiasts are in for a treat as two highly anticipated video games are set to hit the market. After a decade-long hiatus, the Top Spin series returns with its fifth installment, *TopSpin 2k25*, while Tiebreak emerges as the official game of the ATP and WTA tours.
Tiebreak, initially scheduled for a 2023 release, has been postponed to 2024. The game boasts an impressive roster of over 100 professional players, the largest ever for a tennis video game. Players can immerse themselves in full ATP and WTA seasons, featuring both current stars and tennis legends.
Developed by Big Ant Studios, Tiebreak has been in early access on Steam since January. The developer has a proven track record in tennis games, having created Tennis World Tour and AO Tennis. The Steam version allows players to provide feedback, which is incorporated into updates before the final release.
The game features a “Novak Djokovic Slam Challenge,” where players can relive iconic moments from the Serbian’s illustrious career. Ross Symons, CEO of Big Ant Studios, expressed his gratitude for having Djokovic and Coco Gauff as cover stars.
Tiebreak will be released later this year for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch consoles. The Steam version offers unique features such as a venue creator and online tournaments.
