Finally, fans will be disappointed to learn that the series has followed suit and not introduced cross-play across platforms. Cross-play was one of the biggest demands that fans had from the game series. However, like some other popular sports-related video game series, NBA 2K22 will also not support cross-play, although the specific announcement has not been made.
