NBA 2K24: 10 Things We Already Know
1. It's Still On Eighth-Generation Consoles
...and may be for some time to come.
Dissimilar to when video games made the jump from the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the leap between the eighth and ninth generations was initially marred by a lack of physical consoles to distribute, and with many titles still supporting access for those on a PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, this drought may continue.
For context, after the PS4 and Xbox One's releases in November 2013, NBA 2K continued to support players on the PS3 and Xbox 360 from that year's NBA 2K14 right through to NBA 2K19 in September 2018. The games played, looked, and felt different, naturally, but this continued support significantly held back what 2K and Visual Concepts could've done with the new hardware they had to play with.
It's a major issue, too, for PC users, as NBA 2K hasn't yet upgraded PC ports to the ninth-generation copy, meaning they're forking out money for a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One version of the game. NBA 2K24 will mark their tenth year operating on these systems; that they don't view a PC upgrade as a priority is a serious issue and one that deserves immediate amendments.
Statistically, NBA 2K should've stopped support for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players this year - but will they ever?
