NBA 2K25 is official. This year's edition of 2K's basketball game will launch worldwide on September 6, featuring Boston Celtics' Jayson Tatum as the cover athlete for the Standard Edition. He is joined by Las Vegas Aces' A’ja Wilson on the cover of NBA 2K25 All-Star Edition, while Wilson will be the only cover athlete of the WNBA Edition, a GameStop exclusive available in the US and Canada. Finally, NBA 2K25 Hall of Fame Edition will feature 2024 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Inductee Vince Carter on the cover.
The Standard Edition is priced at $69.99 on all platforms except Nintendo Switch, where it is $10 cheaper. The All-Star Edition is priced at $99.99 on all platforms and it includes 100,000 VC and MyTEAM content such as 10 MyTEAM Player Cards (3 guaranteed to be 89 OVR), 3 Diamond Shoe Cards, 3 Takeover Boosts, and 1 Amethyst Coach Card; as well as MyCAREER content, including 150x Skill Boosts (25 Games), 75x Gatorade Boosts (25 Games), Jayson Tatum Cover Jersey, Jayson Tatum Electric Skateboard Skin, and a 2K25 Cover Stars Design T-Shirt.
Finally, the limited availability Hall of Fame Edition is priced at $149.99 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, which comes with everything mentioned above from the All-Star Edition plus a MyCAREER Vince Carter Cover Jersey, a Season 1 Pro Pass with 4 upfront Pro Pass rewards and a 12-Month NBA League Pass Subscription (which, mind you, won't work in Japan, China, Belarus, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Libya, Kosovo, North Korea, Russia, Rwanda, South Sudan, Sudan, Swaziland, or Syria).
The developers at Visual Concepts have promised new MyTEAM modes and, for those on 'Next-Gen' platforms, an added sixth era in MyNBA, a more compact and interactive City, along with the chance to cement their G.O.A.T. status in The W.
However, arguably the biggest change for PC players is that they'll finally be able to enjoy the 'Next-Gen' version with NBA 2K25, which comes with enhanced authenticity and realism powered by ProPLAY technology. The Steam page already lists the full system specs - an SSD will be required.
