NBA 2K23 Crossplay and cross-progression

NBA 2K23 has been out for almost 4 months now and it is dominating the basketball game category once again. Being the only good basketball game, there are few options left for the players to choose from, so everyone sticks to NBA2k23. Since it has been released on multiple platforms all the players were wondering if this version of NBA 2K will have crossplay.

The latest NBA title has been dodging the crossplay question for quite some while. In order to tackle the players, they introduced alternatives like the Cross-Gen Dual Entitlement Bundle and this time it is the Digital Deluxe, Michael Jordan or Championship Edition, which would give players 2 versions of the game for different platforms but of the same console family. If a player receives the PlayStation 4 version of NBA 2K23, an accompanying digital copy of the PlayStation 5 version will be added to the player’s platform account.

Since most of the new games such as Fortnite and Apex Legends allow crossplay, fans are wondering whether the new NBA title will also have this feature.

The NBA 2K FAQs page confirms that NBA 2K23, unfortunately, does not support crossplay which means players on different consoles or even on different console versions will not be able to play together and having no cross-gen multiplayer has disappointed the majority.

NBA 2K23 does allow cross-progression specifically in MyTeam across all generations of consoles and a shared VC Wallet for the same console family. So players will share the progress of MyTeam on their PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The Shared VC Wallet means any earned or purchased VC is accessible across generations of consoles in the same console family.

NBA 2K23 will be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, Xbox One, Xbox One X, Nintendo Switch, and Steam for PC. It’s a bummer that you can’t play with your friends on other consoles. As of now, there are no announcements or leaks regarding NBA 2K allowing crossplay but players expect that this feature will be added in the coming year.
