NBA 2K27 will launch worldwide on September 4, 2026, with Early Access starting August 28 for eligible editions, but will skip previous-generation consoles. It will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, signaling a shift to current-gen hardware. Victor Wembanyama headlines the standard edition cover, Caitlin Clark the deluxe edition, and Derrick Rose appears on the ultra edition, making Wembanyama the first Spurs player to feature on a 2K cover and Clark the first Indiana Fever player to earn a cover. Rose returns for a second time on a 2K cover. Wembanyama’s standout 2025-26 season, including unanimous Defensive Player of the Year and a Finals run, is highlighted with branding around the release. Developers promise further gameplay reveals and deep dives ahead of the September launch.
