Launch Window“While I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with PGA Tour 2K25, I will say that the decision to lean towards realism isn't one I'm truly a fan of. However, the way this game handles it is so well done that I can look past my personal preferences. Amazing graphics and more-this is definitely a step in the right direction for golf games.”

Launch Window“While PGA Tour 2K25 is definitely a competent golf game, it's the little touches that elevate a game from good to great. In a genre as established as golf games, it's surprising that this title doesn't quite hit the mark. If you're eager for the latest golfing experience or haven't played a new golf game in years, PGA Tour 2K25 is a goodt choice. However, for those seeking a truly exceptional golf game, there are better options available.”

Launch Window“PGA Tour 2K25 from developer HB Studios and 2K Games is probably one of the best entries to the franchise in the last three years. It brings better gameplay, gorgeous graphics, and just enough modes to keep the game consistently interesting as you play. It is one of the better sports games to arrive in the last year.”

Early Review“While not striking the same feeling of EA's golf games of old, PGA Tour 2K25 is HB Studios' best effort yet. There's enough here to keep you going for a while and if the PGA Tour 2K series continues on this trajectory, might just have the best take on golf games in years to come.”

Early Review“PGA Tour 2K25 arrives after a two-year hiatus, which 2K and HB Studios used to improve the aesthetics and enhance the gameplay offering. Both single and multiplayer options have been expanded and existing ones refined, and three major tournaments have arrived as well as a few new courses, while the roster could certainly have been more substantial. There are still some navigability issues in the menus due to some minor bugs, and the new control system, alongside the existing ones, requires a lot of patience and training.”

Early Review“"PGA Tour 2K25 is a great step up from its predecessor with some beautiful graphics upgrades and challenging mechanic tweaks. Having the option to create numerous MyPlayers with different archetypes will have you grinding the new upgrade system for hours on end too. You won’t feel shortchanged whatever route you decide to go down."”

Early Review“PGA Tour 2K25 is a golf game for everyone, offering an enjoyable golf simulation for players of any skill level. There are incremental upgrades across the board from 2K23, though I do have concerns about the accessibility of some online modes, as well as the increased prevalence of premium currencies.”
