NBA 2K25 Has Early Access Starting September 4 With All PS5, Xbox, And PC Preorders

It turns out NBA fans will be able to play the game a bit sooner than expected if you preorder a copy for PlayStation, Xbox, or PC. 2K Sports has announced Early Tip-Off begins September 4, two days before the game's official September 6 launch. This preorder benefit applies to both physical and digital versions of the game, and major retailers such as Amazon have already adjusted the date to September 4 for PlayStation and Xbox physical copies. This surprise preorder perk isn't available for the Nintendo Switch version of NBA 2K25.

NBA 2K25 is slated for a September 6 launch, with stars from both the NBA and WNBA facing its cover. Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics, A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces, and Hall of Famer Vince Carter are featured on the cover of the game's four different editions--each packed with more virtual goodies than the last.
