Game-Changer: NBA 2K24 Unveils Revolutionary Addition Fans Have Craved!
Exciting news for NBA 2K fans! Visual Concepts unveils a highly anticipated addition in the upcoming NBA 2K24 game, fulfilling long-standing desires of the fanbase
2K and Visual Concepts have finally announced a major addition to NBA 2K24 that players have been eagerly waiting for. This upcoming game will be the first in the franchise to introduce cross-play, allowing multiplayer gaming between players on different platforms. However, there is a significant limitation to this feature. Despite the long wait for cross-play, 2K and Visual Concepts have chosen to only make it available on two platforms.
Cross-play has been a highly requested feature for the NBA 2K series for quite some time. The exact reasons behind Visual Concepts' delayed implementation of cross-play remain unclear, though fans speculate that it may relate to the game franchise's annual release schedule. In NBA 2K23, the developers did include MyTEAM cross-progression within console families. This allowed players on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One to seamlessly transition to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, while retaining their microtransactions and in-game currency.
NBA 2K24 is set to take a major leap forward in terms of shared play across different platforms. 2K and Visual Concepts have revealed in a new trailer that NBA 2K24 will be the first game in the franchise to offer crossplay. However, there is a limitation to this exciting feature.
Unfortunately, crossplay will not be available on all platforms, or even the majority of supported platforms. Visual Concepts has chosen to enable crossplay solely between the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of NBA 2K24. This means that crossplay will not be supported on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, or even PC. The reasons behind this decision are unclear, but it seems that the development focus has been primarily on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms.
Crossplay in NBA 2K24 will encompass all multiplayer game modes, ranging from co-op matches and online tournaments to casual games. Additional details about NBA 2K24's MyTEAMS will probably be disclosed closer to the game's release date. Despite the limitations on supported platforms, this represents a significant advancement for the franchise.
NBA 2K24 launches September 8 on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
