Dominating the basketball simulation market since 1999, when Visual Concepts launched NBA 2K on Dreamcast, the franchise was later acquired by 2K Sports in 2005. Having become the reference thanks to striking realism, fluid animations and addictive gameplay, the title entered a new era with NBA 2K11, carried by a Michael Jordan cover star that sold millions of copies and laid the foundation for online modes.
Entries like NBA 2K14 (next-gen graphical revolution) or NBA 2K19 (peak popularity with the MyTeam mode) left their mark, but it's MyCareer that has captured the hearts of fans, with its mode allowing players to create their own player to reach the NBA in a blend of RPG progression and intense matches.
Every autumn, a new installment marks the rhythm of the NBA season. NBA 2K25 (2024) shone with its ProPLAY graphics and the addition of the WNBA, while NBA 2K26, released on September 5, 2025, was no exception to this rule of excellence.
