NBA 2K21 has been out for a while, but that was for the old, technologically obsolete consoles, we now only care about the new and shiny ones. Not really, but 2K have released the first of their Courtside Reports for the upcoming NBA 2K21 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

The other day, they released the first trailer for the game, and it looked amazing, but it isn’t until you see the next gen game, side by side with an older one that you can see the difference and that is what the picture below allows for.

But there is a lot more to see and learn about, than just some fancy visual updates, so much more.

Developing NBA 2K21 on next-gen consoles has been a real game changer. By utilizing the incredible power of these new consoles, we've been able to create a vastly deeper basketball experience than we've ever been able to before! Many of the new mechanics and features that we're adding to the next-gen version of NBA 2K21 are only possible thanks to the extra horsepower afforded by the new consoles. - Mike Wang NBA 2K Game Director
