The Black Mamba Edition will be available for £89.99 / $89.99  on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch and PC. This version includes 100K Virtual Currency and a large amount of MyTeam and MyCareer content.

A 25th Anniversary Edition will be available through September 10, for £129.99 / $129.99 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC. It includes a 12-month subscription to NBA League Pass as well as the content from the Black Mamba edition.

“As we celebrate 25 years of NBA 2K with Kobe Bryant, we commemorate his legacy and the generational impact he has had on the game of basketball,” said Greg Thomas, president of developer Visual Concepts.

“While we mark the history of the franchise, NBA 2K24 also looks ahead to the future to bring an innovative leap in technology and the introduction of community-requested features like cross-play.”
