NBA 2K27 is an upcoming 2026 basketball video game developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K. Based on the National Basketball Association (NBA) and Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), it is the 28th installment in the NBA 2K series and the successor to NBA 2K26 (2025). The game will be released for the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows on September 4, 2026.[1]

Development

[edit]

NBA 2K27 was officially announced on 28 July 2026.[2] The announcement revealed the cover athletes across three editions: Victor Wembanyama for the Standard Edition, Caitlin Clark for the Deluxe Edition, and Derrick Rose for the limited-time Ultra Edition. Wembanyama's selection followed his historic unanimous Defensive Player of the Year award, while Clark became the first WNBA player to headline a global premium edition of the game. Rose's Ultra Edition celebrated his legacy as the youngest NBA MVP in history.[3]

Gameplay

[edit]

NBA 2K27 features gameplay improvements with smarter AI defense, a redesigned dynamic Dunk Meter, and expanded MyPLAYER customization with 53 Badges and returning Cap Breakers. MyTEAM introduces a unified Auction House across supported current-generation platforms, while MyNBA adds modern league management features such as CBA updates and No-Trade Clauses. MyCAREER and The City receive a new nighttime aesthetic, a returning centralized layout, and the addition of Rucker Park as a major streetball location.[4]

Release

[edit]

NBA 2K27 will launch with early access beginning at 9:00 AM PT on August 28, 2026. This will be the first NBA 2K to not release on last generation consoles[5]. Early access is available exclusively through the Deluxe and Ultra Editions on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC until the game's worldwide release on September 4, 2026.[4]
