Pickleball Hits the Gaming World: PPA Pickleball Tour 2025 Now Available

While College Football 25 may not be available for PC gamers, pickleball enthusiasts have something new to celebrate. The rapidly growing sport has made its way into the gaming world with the release of PPA Pickleball Tour 2025 by FarSight Studios. This new game aims to capture the excitement and competitiveness of pickleball, featuring career and quick play modes, a character generator, and even motion-captured pickleball professionals like Anna Leigh Waters and Ben Johns.

Pickleball has been on a meteoric rise in popularity, with high-profile athletes like LeBron James and Tom Brady investing in the sport. Even tennis legend Novak Djokovic has expressed concerns about pickleball's impact on traditional tennis. With its newfound fame, it's no surprise that the sport has now inspired an official video game. PPA Pickleball Tour 2025 promises a realistic gaming experience, complete with licensed paddles and apparel, and is available on multiple platforms including Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation, with a Switch version on the way.

Despite the hype, early reviews suggest that the game has some shortcomings. With only two arenas, no online multiplayer, and a price tag of $50, it may struggle to replicate pickleball's real-world success. Some fans believe a more dynamic, fast-paced approach could have made the game more engaging, considering pickleball's appeal lies more in playing than watching.

Whether PPA Pickleball Tour 2025 can capture the hearts of gamers remains to be seen, but it offers a new way to enjoy the sport on your PC. It's available now for those who want to test their pickleball skills virtually.
