Best PS4 and PS5 settings in NBA 2K24

NBA 2K24 is one of the few games to launch both on the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 5. The former runs the game at 1080p 30 FPS while the latter is capable enough to maintain 4K 60 FPS without performance hiccups. Besides performance tuning, there are a bunch of other gameplay-related settings that need to be altered.

Note that unlike the PC port, the game does not have any visual fidelity settings. All gamers playing on the PlayStation 4 are locked at 1080p 30 FPS, while those on the newer PS5 can enjoy the title at 4K 60 FPS out of the box. Unlike most PlayStation releases, the game doesn't have a quality and performance toggle.

Our recommendations for the best settings combination on the PS4 and PS5 are as follows:
