PGA Tour 2K25: Legend Edition: PS5 Review

Developed by 2K
Released by 2K Games
Platform: PS5 

Golf on the console has always been a fascinating experience.

This latest revamped proposition from PGA2K takes last year's game and updates it with extra content and a wealth of upcoming golfing goodness.

At its core, the base game remains one of the most playable golfing simulators out there, thanks to the effort that goes into thinking about how exactly you'll shoot your shot. From contact to adding spin, PGA 2K25 has always been about ensuring the virtual version is as close to the real thing as it could be.

With the TrueSwing and EvoSwing, the game offers a very impressive level of feedback and quality of shot. There's little room for error, but given that it feels rewarding when it all comes together, that's no bad thing - and the skill level jumps needed for you to move within the game and progress are always carefully crafted. 

But at the end of the day, when it comes down to it, what matters with PGA Tour 2K25 is how it feels when it plays. And this feels as close to the real thing as you can get - from player rivalries to career modes, there's much to sink your teeth into if you're planning to undergo a long gaming session. Equally, if you just want to kick back and carry out a round of 9 holes, the game can satiate that too.

At the end of the day, PGA Tour 2K25: Legend Edition represents a great golfing simulator. It's hard to see how 2K will improve on this in the future.

Additional features for the PGA Tour 2K25: Legend Edition: 

PGA TOUR 2K25 Legend Edition Year 2 features the contents of the previously available PGA TOUR 2K25 Legend Edition, along with Member’s Pass Year 2, offering access to Clubhouse Pass Premium Seasons 6-8 and Clubhouse Pass Gear Pack Year 2, plus the all-new Pro Accelerator Pack, which replaces the previously-available Starter Pack and includes items intended to boost a new MyPLAYER’s stats, allowing them to compete at a high level quickly, as well as a limited-edition PING Iron and PUMA Footwear. PGA TOUR 2K25 Pro Edition features the contents of the previously available PGA TOUR 2K25 Deluxe Edition, plus the Pro Accelerator Pack.
