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.

“As the popularity of Pickleball continues to boom, we are proud to bring PPA Pickleball Tour 2025, the first officially licensed Pickleball video game, to market, allowing the tens of millions of Pickleball players to enjoy the sport on Xbox, PlayStation and Steam. Whether you’re strategizing how to beat your opponent with an Erne or testing your reflexes in a Firefight against Anna Leigh Waters and Ben Johns, this game has everything you love about the fastest growing sport in the USA!”

Parker Roberts, VP of Revenue of the PPA also said:
