NBA 2K26 - basketball players are already ready

Release date: August 29, 2025

Another round of playing basketball

NBA 2K26 is the latest installment of the iconic basketball simulator series. This year's edition is being promoted with three different covers featuring NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, WNBA star Angel Reese, and legend Carmelo Anthony. New special editions offer early access to the game, additional currencies, and exclusive content. The creators made sure to improve the animations, graphics, and take full advantage of the new generation hardware, resulting in an even more realistic experience.

That's the 27th installment of the NBA!

The gameplay in NBA 2K26 has been significantly refreshed, both in terms of mechanics and modes. The MyCAREER Mode now offers more options to customize your character, including choosing their background, career path, and the impact of decisions made off the court. The dribble systems, passes, throws, and defensive play have also been improved, and a more advanced collision physics has been introduced, along with new animations and intelligent stamina management.
