Rapsodo launched two things together on October 15, 2026: the MLM2XPRO launch monitor and Rapsodo Studios, a PC membership with precision-scanned courses. If you own an MLM2PRO or you're thinking about either one, here's what it costs, what courses you get, what PC you need and what's still to come.
Rapsodo Studios release date and what it is
Rapsodo announced the MLM2XPRO and Rapsodo Studios as available on October 15, 2026. Studios isn't a separate program: Rapsodo calls it a membership tier that runs in the Rapsodo Golf for PC app, and it works only on a Windows PC.
Rapsodo Studios cost and memberships
For the MLM2XPRO and MLM2PRO, Rapsodo lists three plans. All are billed yearly; there's no monthly option.
| Plan | Price | What Rapsodo lists |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Free tier; see Rapsodo for what it includes |
| Core | $199.99 a year | 30,000+ simulated courses on mobile and PC, all golf metrics including spin and club data, family profiles for up to two golfers |
| Studios | $399.99 a year | Everything in Core, plus 25 precision-scanned courses at launch, 4K environments, On-Course Practice on a compatible PC, profiles for up to four golfers |
- What MLM2PRO owners get. Rapsodo says existing MLM2PRO memberships become Core memberships, and MLM2PRO owners can add Studios for an additional $199.99 a year. Rapsodo's membership FAQ says Lifetime members can add Studios for $200 a year.
- A new MLM2XPRO comes with a 21-day Core trial that renews at $199.99 a year, plus a short preview of two Studios courses on a compatible PC.
- Lifetime members who buy an MLM2XPRO by March 15, 2027 can transfer their Lifetime membership to it, according to Rapsodo.
Rapsodo Studios course list
Rapsodo says Studios opens with 25 courses, "with more on the way." (The MLM2XPRO product page says "nearly 30 real-world and simulation-partner courses," so the exact count depends on what's being counted.) Rapsodo hasn't published a full course list. The courses it names or shows include Bethpage Black, Quail Hollow, Tobacco Road, Payne's Valley and Magenta Shores. If you want a specific course, check that it's listed before you pay for Studios.
Rapsodo Studios PC requirements
Studios needs a Windows PC (there's no Mac version), and the launch monitor connects to the PC with a USB-C cable. Rapsodo publishes four tiers:
| Tier | Windows | Processor | Graphics | Memory |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HD minimum | 10, 64-bit | Intel Core i5 6600K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 | RTX 3060 8 GB or RX 5700 XT 8 GB | 16 GB |
| HD recommended | 11, 64-bit | Intel Core i5-12400 or AMD Ryzen 5 5600 | RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB or RX 6700 XT 12 GB | 32 GB |
| 4K minimum | 11, 64-bit | Intel Core i7 6700 or AMD Ryzen 5 5600 | RTX 5080 16 GB or RX 9070 XT 16 GB | 32 GB |
| 4K recommended | 11, 64-bit | Intel Core i7 7700 or AMD Ryzen 7 7700X | RTX 5090 32 GB or RX 7900 XT 24 GB | 64 GB |
The 4K tiers ask for far more graphics power than the HD tiers. If your sim PC has an RTX 3060-class card, plan on HD. For other sim software and what runs where, see our simulator software guide.
MLM2XPRO vs MLM2PRO: what changed
Rapsodo hasn't published a side-by-side comparison, but it lists these as new on the MLM2XPRO:
- Putting in simulation. Rapsodo says it's the first time golfers can finish the hole with putting on a Rapsodo launch monitor. It needs a Core membership.
- Faster processing, which Rapsodo says shows your data the moment you swing.
- An upgraded adjustable tripod with LED alignment guidance and battery and connectivity indicators.
- Swing Replay and Impact Vision with 240 fps impact footage (Core membership required).
- A new app. Rapsodo says the previous MLM2PRO app doesn't work with the MLM2XPRO; it uses the new Rapsodo Golf mobile app.
Both models work with Studios. Rapsodo lists GSPro, E6, Awesome Golf and The Stack among the MLM2XPRO's simulation partners. Indoors, Rapsodo says spin rate and spin axis need its RPT balls, and the MLM2XPRO comes with 12.
Room check: Rapsodo says you need at least 8 feet from the ball to the net, plus 7.5 feet behind the ball for the device, and taller players may need more. Check your room with our room size guide or the builder.
