The demo of the console version had already been downloadable for a few days , but now it’s time to go to the basket: NBA 2K21 in fact is now available for purchase on PlayStation 4 , Xbox One , Switch , PC and Stadia . But that’s not all: the next-gen versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are still missing , which obviously will only come out later, when the consoles arrive on the market (by the end of the year).
Who will buy the Mamba Forever Edition , dedicated to the memory of Kobe Bryant, will be entitled to redeem a standard copy of the game for the next generation platforms . In addition, the title is equipped with the MyTEAM Cross-Progression, which is a shared VC wallet within the same family of consoles (from PS4 to PS5, from Xbox One to Xbox Series X), allowing the sharing of all MyTEAM Points, Tokens , cards and progress on both the current and next generation versions of NBA 2K21 in the same console family. Likewise, the Shared VC Wallet means that any VCs earned or purchased are accessible on both the current and next-generation versions of NBA 2K21 (again in reference to the same console family).
The previous episode, NBA 2K20, had been the subject of a lot of criticism , but 2K promises improvements on all fronts: There will be more realism thanks to improved graphics and player AI, a more refined dribble system, a new cinematic story for “MyCAREER” mode and much more. Below is the complete list of game features provided directly by 2K.
