Pickleball gets an official video game
Nearly 60 years after its invention, pickleball finally has its own official video game.
Released today, PPA Pickleball Tour 2025 was developed by FarSight Studios with assistance from the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA Tour) in order to make the most accurate pickleball experience for gamers. The game allows players to play as over 16 PPA pros such as #1 ranked men’s player Ben Johns and #1 ranked women’s player Anna Leigh Waters. There’s also the ability to create your own PPA player for use in career mode and quick play. A game trailer can be seen here.
PPA Pickleball Tour 2025 is out right now on the Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC (via Steam). A Nintendo Switch version will arrive on July 26.
