NBA 2K23 Release Date
EA have confirmed September 9 as the release date for NBA 2K23. It will be available on all the different platforms like PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo Switch once it is released.
However, before making a pre-order of the game, players should be aware that the PC version on Steam is last-gen, unlike what’s offered on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Game developers 2K Games did not optimise the current-gen experience for PC, stating that:
focus was on assuring NBA 2K23 was optomized for new consoles (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S), while also making sure the experience remains fresh and innovative for players on other platforms.
The news comes as a disappointment for PC users as they will not enjoy the same gameplay experience as the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. However, this is not new for the sports genre, and Madden NFL 23 will follow suit. Hopefully, this difference will end as EA announced that the new PC version of FIFA 23 will be the same as the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
