NBA 2K22 is rumored to release sometime in September. Similar to last year, 2K unveiled that it developed two separate versions of the game. One with the latest performance boosts, features, and game modes that will run on next-generational consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, while the other will be better suited for last-gen performance.
As with every year, 2K has sought to improve on its existing features while reinventing other aspects of the game. They decided to reveal some of these features in the NBA 2K22 Courtside Report.
