After releasing in August of 2020, 2K's inaugural sim, PGA Tour 2K21 is reportedly a big sales success, indicating it's here to stay.

With PGA TOUR 2K21, 2K has a brand new golfing simulator on its hand and HB Studios has evolved from its own golfing series; The Golf Club. And now, according to a recent earnings call, it turns out that PGA TOUR 2K21 is off to a big start in terms of sales, indicating that the franchise may be here to stay.

With 2K swooping up HB Studios to design PGA TOUR 2K, it became clear that 2K was hoping to replicate the success of NBA 2K with PGA 2KWhile golf may not have quite the same appeal as basketball in the world of video games, there has been a void in the simulator department of golf games for a while, and the PGA TOUR 2K games had the opportunity to step in. Apparently, the game did just that.

The well-reviewed PGA TOUR 2K21 is now a well-performing game as well in terms of sales. The CEO of Take-Two, Strauss Zelnick, recently reported that the game has sold around 2 million units. This result is something that the team is very proud of, and Take-Two believes that the game will only continue to sell. Additionally, with how well PGA TOUR 2K21 has done, it makes it more clear that it will not simply be a one-off and that PGA TOUR 2K will likely be a franchise moving forward.

This is something that we feel like it merits investment from our side. And that's something that we can really turn into very profitable and exciting franchise for us going forward for many years

The success of PGA TOUR 2K21 is a good thing for golf fans. In fact, when Game Rant sat down with HB Studios' developer Shaun West in an interview, he talked about how the team-up with 2K would likely help the long-term growth of the golfing sim. The players have come out in droves to enjoy the game so far, and that means that the series is likely set up to continue moving forward.

PGA Tour 2K21 is available for PC, PS4, Stadia, Switch, and Xbox One.
