Welcome to the Racket-Verse: Resolution Games’ Racket Club Debuts Pickleball in Major Update

Racket Club is swinging into 2025 with a massive update, introducing new sports, a redesigned club, and an in-game shop. With today’s addition of pickleball and table tennis (the latter in the Lab area only for now) from Resolution Games, Racket Club is now officially a multi-sport virtual reality (VR) game that includes four distinct racket sports, including box tennis (the original sport that started it all) and spinminton, expanding the game to become the most extensive VR ‘racket-verse’ experience available today (trailer here).

“Since its launch, Racket Club’s content has quadrupled, evolving from a single sport to a full-fledged multi-sport virtual sports club, where players can engage in a variety of racket-based games, socialize, and hone their skills,” said Mathieu Castelli, Chief Creative Officer at Resolution Games. “This update cements its status as the ultimate social VR racket experience—a true ‘racket-verse’ where friends can meet, compete, and have fun together… with more good things to come in the future.”

Pickleball Leaves the Lab – Now an Official Sport
Pickleball, which has been a fan-favorite in Racket Club’s Lab area, is here to stay and has entered the main Club as an official sport. Along with its promotion comes an updated rule set for a more authentic experience, replacing the honor system with real-world foul tracking.

Introducing Table Tennis – Now Playable in the Lab
With insights from Racket Club’s growing player base and extensive iteration on previous racket sports, the game has also added table tennis to the Lab area. This latest addition brings refined mechanics and physics designed to rival the best VR table tennis experiences with both singles and doubles modes—all while maintaining Racket Club’s signature social, club-like atmosphere.

Other notable updates in this release include:

1. Redesigned Club for an Enhanced Social Experience - The Racket Club experience has always been about more than just playing—it’s about being part of a thriving virtual sports club. The latest update introduces a fully redesigned club area featuring new courts and enhanced social spaces, making it easier than ever to meet, practice, and compete with friends.
   
2. Shop Opens, Introduces New Customization Options - With the debut of the Racket Club shop, players can now use coins acquired through daily and weekly in-game missions to buy cosmetic items, bringing another layer of progression and personalization to the game. From new outfits to stylish accessories, the shop further immerses players in the experience of belonging to an exclusive sports club.
   
3. Updated Bots - In an industry-first, Resolution Games has harnessed advanced deep machine learning techniques to develop AI-driven bots for Racket Club trained on anonymous gameplay data, making their play shots and tactics virtually indistinguishable from human opponents. “Not only does this enhance the single-player experiences within the game,” stated Castelli, “this feature also illustrates Resolution Games’ commitment to leveraging player feedback and cutting-edge technology to deliver dynamic and responsive experiences within our games.”
   

With the introduction of pickleball, table tennis, and a host of new features, Racket Club is shaping the future of virtual racket sports, available for just $24.99.
