2K has unveiled NBA 2K24, due out September 8 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch and PC.
In a first for the series, NBA 2K24 has crossplay across all modes for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.
Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant is the NBA 2K24 cover star, and appears on the front of the NBA 2K24 Kobe Bryant Edition and Black Mamba Edition boxes. There’s also a 25th Anniversary Edition, which includes a 12-month subscription to NBA League Pass.
NBA 2K24, developed by Visual Concepts, includes the new Mamba Moments mode. This lets you recreate some of Bryant’s most memorable performances while progressing through his career. Meanwhile, ProPLAY is described as a new tech that “directly translates” NBA footage into NBA 2K24 gameplay. This tech is only available in the PS5 and Xbox Series X and S versions of the game. Expect to hear more about that later this summer.
