Pete Wentz is taking his passion for tennis to new levels!
The 44-year-old Fall Out Boy bassist and primary lyricist has been named the first-ever Off-Court Ambassador for TopSpin 2K25, which, according to a press release, is a role that includes contributions to the game’s soundtrack and appearances on behalf of the game as a tennis aficionado and cultural figure.
An avowed fan of both tennis and the TopSpin franchise, the platinum-selling musician will lend his tennis cultural expertise to TopSpin 2K25, as well as his musical expertise to the selection of songs on the in-game soundtrack, which will include their latest Dillon Francis remix of “Heartbreak Feels so Good” (which dropped on music streaming platforms earlier today) along with other soon-to-be-announced songs.
Of his role as TopSpin 2K25’s Off-Court Ambassador, Wentz said, “Having three of my favorite things come together in an organic way is really special. I love music, tennis and video games so was psyched when 2K gave me the opportunity to get involved and contribute to TopSpin 2K25. The game is sick and I can’t wait to play when it’s out. Working with Dillon Francis on the “Heartbreak Feels So Good” Fall Out Boy remix was a blast as he has a great musical perspective. The song encapsulates how I feel about tennis – it is pure elation and heartbreak moment-to-moment but always undeniable.”
Pete is no stranger to the world of tennis, as he plays near-daily, even while on tour. He has participated in pro-am events alongside top-ranked tennis pros including the recent Desert Smash charity event at Indian Wells and is a long-time fan of the TopSpin tennis video game series, making him the ideal Off-Court Ambassador for the franchise’s resurgence in TopSpin 2K25 which he was able to play ahead of the 2024 BNP Paribas Open.
The TopSpin 2K25 Deluxe Edition and Grand Slam® Edition will be available April 23, 2024 –up to three days ahead of Standard and Cross-Gen Editions! TopSpin 2K25 Standard andCross-Gen Editions will be available Friday, April 26, 2024.
