While the NBA 2K23 release date has not yet been announced or confirmed, thanks to some very consistent timing over the last several years, the expected NBA 2K23 release date is September 9, 2022.
NBA 2K Release Date – History
For the past four straight years, the NBA 2K franchise has released each installment on a Friday near the beginning of September:
• NBA 2K22: September 10, 2021
• NBA 2K21: September 4, 2020
• NBA 2K20: September 6, 2019
Also released during September were the three 2K games before that. On September 11, 2018, 2K released NBA 2K19, and on September 19, 2017, NBA 2K18 was released. In 2016, NBA 2K16 was released on September 20.
With all that in mind, we expect the NBA 2K22 release date will be Friday, September 9, 2022.
Who are the NBA 2K23 Cover Athletes?
Possible candidates include Ja Morant, Steph Curry, Trae Young, Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokic, Zach LaVine, and more.
NBA 2K23 Consoles
You can count on an NBA 2K23 release for current-gen platforms, including PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Windows PC, and Nintendo Switch.
You can also expect a release on Xbox One, Xbox One X, Xbox One S, PS4, PS4 Slim, and PS4 Pro.
Will NBA 2K23 have a Demo, Trial, or Early Access?
While other major sports titles have found a groove in recent years with a Trial or Demo ahead of launch and pairing this with Early Access for players who pre-order a special edition, 2K has strayed from that model with its flagship franchise.
NBA 2K22 didn’t have a demo, trial, or early access for players, and we’ll probably see that continue with NBA 2K23.
Who is the highest-rated player in NBA 2K23?
The #1 top-rated player in the game is Giannis Antetokounmpo, followed by Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Joel Embiid, and Nikola Jokic.
How much does NBA 2K23 cost?
Expect NBA 2K23 to cost between $60 – $100, depending on platform and version.
