While many who see NBA 2K games, will think it is just a basketball game, fans will be able to tell them that there is much more going on, especially with the Neighbourhood and for the next gen consoles, NBA 2K22 will offer up a lot.

While the core basketball experience will be the same, no matter what platform you enjoy the game on, those who have next gen hardware, the Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation 5, will get to experience an all new City to explore and play in. Here are the high level features that players can expect:

• New City Quests will be solo ventures for players to experiment with their careers off the court, from becoming a fashion mogul to a rap icon;

• An increased population will make The City feel as if it's teeming with life, featuring new NPCs to fully bring the world around you together;

• Ability to upgrade your crib - such as a penthouse with a zipline to take you directly to specific courts - as a player’s home plays a part in MyCAREER as a location where coaches and friends will give players new quests;

• Explore new buildings added to The City, including a matchmaking building and Club 2K, where players can access music from some of the hottest labels that drop with every Season;

• Rewards include new ways to get around The City, such as Go-Karts and Inline Skates, new emotes, intros and outros, animations, customized name plates and more.

For those players on other platforms, Switch, PC, PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, the Neighbourhood will be quite different, because instead of it being the same, it will in fact take place on a cruise ship. Players will get to et sail aboard the “Cancha del Mar”; from the lobby to the top deck, each level of the ship is designed to offer various hoops activities.

Additionally, Seasons will offer exciting new Excursions that take place in tropical and recognizable locales, with every Season providing fresh content, new rewards, and unique events for engagement. Additional details can be found via the recent Courtside Report.

The game is coming out this week for all platforms and can be ordered now via our Bargain Guide link.
