When is NBA 2K24 releasing?
Without unforeseen delays, NBA 2K24 will be available worldwide on September 8, 2023. This will be the same across all available platforms and editions. The release date has also hinted at the lack of any early access as of writing.
There were certain rumors that the Black Mamba and 25th Anniversary editions would allow players to jump in earlier. However, that apparently won’t happen unless 2K Sports decides otherwise.
The official release date is more or less along expected lines. Historically, most of the annual releases in the NBA 2K franchise have taken place in the first 10 days of September. Hence, the new release date isn’t a surprise, meaning players will have to wait another two months before starting their next 2K journey.
NBA 2K24 release time in all regions
This question has intrigued many, as the launch time is likely to be different. While 2K Sports hasn’t stated anything explicitly, the release will follow regional timings. Simply put, the game will be available in the region at midnight as per their local timings.
Many developers and publishers have been following regional releases in recent times, and it includes 2K as well. Of course, confirmation about the launch titles will likely be revealed closer to the September 8 release date.
NBA 2K24 is now up for pre-order, with three different editions. The Kobe Bryant edition is the cheapest option, while the 25th Anniversary edition is the most expensive.
However, it also comes with an annual NBA pass and exclusive in-game items that can provide a solid headstart.
