NBA 2K25 will be delisted from storefronts on October 30, 2026, with servers to sunset on December 31. Multiplayer and online modes will no longer be available starting January 1, 2027.<\/p>\n
In a post published by 2K, players who own the game can still redownload the title and play offline modes, including Play Now, MyNBA, The W, and MyWNBA.<\/p>\n
Features that require a connection to 2K servers will be unavailable, including MyCareer and MyTeam modes. MyCareer is the game’s single-player story mode, which relies on in-game currency to upgrade players.<\/p>\n

As part of the agreement, NBA and 2K launched NBA Take-Two Media, described as a “modern entertainment company that will bring fans and players together through competitive gaming, social-first content, original programming,<\/p>\n
