TopSpin 2K25: A much-needed season three officially swings into action this week

Love gaming goals this summer? Look no further than what’s brewing this week for 2K Sports’ TopSpin 2K25 and its highly-anticipated season three. A must-see trailer with ample perks brewing for the ultimate tennis enthusiast? Say less.

Officially slated to launch Thursday, August 15, it’s all types of anticipation happening for season three of the recently launched title.

Centre Court Pass 3 presented by American Express offers an array of rewards, plus G.O.A.T. status debuts in MyCAREER this month

Summer is heating up in TopSpin 2K25 with Season 3, available this week and just in time for the US Open. Featuring new, free, playable pro Caroline Garcia, plus the introduction of the Laver Cupin MyCAREER, new G.O.A.T. status, a new Centre Court Pass presented by American Express, and more. Season 3 offers a wide variety of experiences and rewards to keep the rally going!

TopSpin 2K25 continues to follow the real-life tennis calendar and spotlights featured tournaments throughout each Season. For Season 3, the focus is on the US Open, the Grand Slam® tournament which takes place at the iconic blue courts of Arthur Ashe Stadium at Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens, New York. Players can take on US Open-themed challenges in World Tour mode this Season and earn themed rewards.

Joining the TopSpin 2K25 roster, Caroline Garcia is a top-tier French tennis player known for her strong serve and notable success in Grand Slam® tournaments. With the launch of Season 3, Garcia will be free and available for all players to play in 2K Tour and Exhibition modes.

Season 3 also introduces the Laver Cup to TopSpin 2K25, pitting Team Europe against Team World. Once players reach “Young Gun” status in MyCAREER, they can compete in the Laver Cupas a playable event in the Men’s Tour of MyCAREER during the in-game month of September. Players will play as a team over multiple days, taking to the court as a MyPLAYER or pro. Team Europe features the likes of Sinner and Alcaraz, while on Team World, competitors like Tiafoe and Shelton lead the charge, with any open slots filled by preset MyPLAYERs. The competition unfolds with four matches daily - three singles and one doubles - culminating in a potential tiebreaker doubles match on the decisive third day if scores are even. Each day’s victories are weighted incrementally, with points escalating from 1 to 3 based on the day, until the first team reaches 13 points, securing ultimate bragging rights and the prestigious Laver Cup trophy.

For players who have reached Legend status and think they’ve mastered MyCAREER, Season 3 introduces G.O.A.T. status, which unlocks only after players achieve all preceding objectives. G.O.A.T. status is dynamic, meaning players must conquer new challenges, objectives and milestones each Season to maintain their G.O.A.T. status. Unlike other statuses, which typically feature 3-5 goals, G.O.A.T. status sets a higher benchmark with multiple objectives structured across Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers. As players progress through these tiers, they unlock rewards which differ between the Men's and Women's Tours in MyCAREER, offering unique incentives and challenges tailored to each player's journey.

Every version of the TopSpin 2K25 Centre Court Pass will feature 50 reward tiers, 13 of which will feature free rewards. In the Season 3 Centre Court Pass, presented by American Express, there are 42 free rewards and 106 premium rewards, including American Express-themed cosmetics and accessories ranging from rackets and wristbands, to shorts, skirts and jackets. Also available at Free Tiers 5 and 50 are alternate versions of Steffi Graf representing her Australian Open 1997 and Wimbledon 1991 outfits. In addition, Premium Centre Court Pass rewards include Naomi Osaka’s 2020 US Open outfit at Tier 30 and Taylor Fritz’s US Open 2024 outfit at Tier 50, which offer alternative appearances for these playable pros. A host of new items will also be dropping in the Pro Shop Seasonal Store, as well as new Signature Style Animations and Alt Pro Outfits.
