Smash those aces
Tiebreak is the latest tennis game to start smashing down some aces on console and PC, with release on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC. There’s a Nintendo Switch version in the works, for launch at a later date too.
Playable today via the Tiebreak Ace Edition, a couple of days ahead of the official street release and the Standard Edition, this comes from the Nacon and Big Ant Studios teams, going up against some of the best tennis games currently available to the world.
Take to the court of Tiebreak and you’ll find a game that has spent a good few months in Steam Early Access. This has allowed Tiebreak to evolve into the game it is today; a game that promises to be uber realistic, running a deep roster of players and holding officially licensed ATP and WTA content. Does that mean it’s the most complete of all tennis games? Well, if you take the key features as read, it certainly stands a chance against the finest competition…
