The early access for NBA 2K27 goes live next week, on August 26, 2026, for players with the Deluxe Edition or Ultra Edition.
We’ve already learned everything new from the recent reveals. There are sweeping changes across MyPlayer Builder and MyCareer, as well as general gameplay improvements.
If those details have you convinced and wanting to check system requirements and crossplay details before committing, here's all you need to know.
NBA 2K27 Crossplay Details
NBA 2K27 has cross-play support, but it's only restricted to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
There will be no cross-play for Nintendo Switch 2 and PC players. It was the same for previous titles, and PC is separate this time as well.
You won't have many matchmaking issues for PC during the first days, but that might change later down the road.
The Nintendo Switch 2 will likely have a quieter lobby.
NBA 2K27 Cross-Progression Details
While 2K hasn't formally confirmed it, there won't be cross-progression support for NBA 2K27.
This has been the case with the previous title and will remain unchanged this time as well.
Some progression and VC could be transferred within the same console family, like PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5, in the past. But with last-gen no longer supported, there will be no cross-progression at all.
