After 13 years of absence, Top Spin 2K25 is making a very notable return to the tennis court… but not necessarily for the best reasons. The title is already controversial on certain points.
In addition to a Career mode which is not to the taste of all Top Spin 2K25 players, it is another much more questionable choice which provokes the anger of players. If Hangar 13 and 2K Games are to be believed, their new flagship tennis game already has some form of expiration date.
Barely launched, already an end of career announced for Top Spin 2K25?
Tennis game fans have been waiting for Top Spin 2K25 like the messiah. Overall, their wishes were granted, at least when it came to solid gameplay. There are, however, several sticking points surrounding Hangar 13 and 2K Games’ new game. The publisher has unfortunately accustomed us to a fairly predatory economic model, which we find here. But what especially provokes the anger of players is an end date already announced for this game, even though it has only just been released.
We can indeed notice an information note in particular on the PlayStation Store page dedicated to Top Spin 2K25. It states the following: “ Please note that the online features of the game will be available until December 31, 2026. However, we reserve the right to modify or terminate the online features beforehand, without warning. “. Note that, even in its single-player component, the game requires a mandatory connection.
Thus, armed with this information, players are legitimately interested in purchasing the game. Without saying it, 2K Games therefore suggests that Top Spin 2K25 should take precedence over other sports games under its supervision, with editions annual or biannual. An economic model which has not always been viewed favorably, and which fans of tennis games hoped not to see on their favorite license and against all odds resurrected…
