#NBA 2K22 RELEASE SERIES#

2K was the only developer of an annual sports series that produced a completely separate and independent version of its game for both generations of systems. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S both hit stores just before the holidays in 2020, and during the throws of the pandemic. The other side of the most practical explanation is related to the release of next-gen consoles in 2020. The first piece is due to the pandemic and the impact its had on game development.Ī title like 2K, which depends on getting real-life scans of players and motion-capturing of athletes could easily be impeded by the restrictions most businesses have endured behind COVID-19. The easy and most logical explanation is still a compound one. However, this year is perhaps the latest in the more than 10 years I’ve covered the franchise, and the 22 years NBA 2K has been in existence. We’ve seen release cycles come and go with information rollouts that were later than others. Now that we know the release date is firm, the next question is pretty obvious. Per a 2K representative: “All editions of NBA 2K22 are currently scheduled for worldwide release on Septemand that hasn’t changed since we announced it.”

I decided to go directly to the source to find the answer to this question. The cover athlete for the standard edition is Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic.With a planned release date of September 10 for NBA 2K22, and information sparse, the game’s community has been wondering if the upcoming title is headed for a delay. He also painted the cover for John Legend’s most-recent album, Big Love. He has painted several high-profile pieces on social activism for a number of publications. The art for all of the covers was done by an artist named Charly Palmer. The Switch version will only be available digitally in the EMEA region. It comes with dual-gen access within the same console family. Lastly, the NBA 75th Anniversary Edition will cost $99.99 for all consoles.

#NBA 2K22 RELEASE PS4#

This means PlayStation users will have it on PS4 and PS5, and Xbox users will have the game on Xbox One X and Series X|S. The Cross-Gen Digital Bundle will retail for $79.99, and it will give users access to either the last or next-gen versions of NBA 2K22, but within the same console family.

#NBA 2K22 RELEASE PC#

This designation confirms the PC version will again be a last-generation experience. The PS5 and Xbox Series X|S’ standard edition will retail for $69.99. The standard edition for last-generation versions (PS4, PC and Xbox One) will be $59.99. The game will be available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One X, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC. Many years there is an early access period for consumers who pre-order, but the initial press release didn’t mention that this year. This is around the time of year the game normally hits retailers. The official release date for NBA 2K22 is September 10. They also revealed not 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, but six cover athletes for the upcoming game.

On Wednesday morning, 2K officially announced the release date for NBA 2K22. The first official NBA 2K22 news has arrived.
