The First Official Pickleball Video Game, ‘PPA Pickleball Tour 25,’ Is Finally Here

PPA Pickleball Tour 25, the brand new pickleball game from FarSight Studios, has been released. It introduces the sport of pickleball into the world of video games. The title was released for Xbox and PlayStation on July 17, with the Nintendo Switch version set to release on July 26.

Sports video games are one of the most popular genres, with yearly releases like Madden consistently seeing the tops of sales charts. Nearly every sport under the sun has a video game version to go with it, and now pickleball is getting the same treatment. Pickleball is America’s fastest-growing sport, with over 50 million people playing the game, so a video game based on the sport was only a matter of time.

In PPA Pickleball Tour 25, players will compete both in a career mode and in quick play matches to hone their skills in pickleball. The game features an extensive career mode in which players will create their own custom pickleball player and rise through the ranks of the pickleball world. Players will compete in PPA Tour events in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles across a variety of different venues with the ultimate goal of achieving a Triple Crown.
