If you have a younger gamer at home who loves basketball but might find the controls and game modes of NBA 2K25 to be too complex, you might want to consider picking up NBA Bounce instead, which launches for Switch, PS5, PS4, and Xbox on September 26. Developed by Unfinished Pixel and published by Outright Games, NBA Bounce is a family-friendly basketball game featuring simple controls, colorful graphics, and a streamlined approach to on-court action. If that sounds enticing, preorders are available for $50 at Amazon and Best Buy.
$50 | Releases September 26
You won’t find any premium editions of NBA Bounce up for grabs, as this standard edition is the only one up for preorder. It includes the base game and any eligible preorder bonuses. It’s quite affordable at $50, and it looks like a fun way for younger gamers to enjoy the thrill of basketball without having to deal with overly complex controls. Along with a chance to hoop with up to three other players, you can run around the court as your favorite mascot or design your very own player. It’ll release for Switch, PS5, PS4, and Xbox.
NBA Bounce will feature 3v3 matches, making it easier to keep track of the action. There's also a Party Mode with mini games if you're looking for a change of pace, while heaps of unlockables mean there's always something to work toward. We don't expect it to be quite as involved as NBA 2K25--and for young players, that's definitely a good thing.
If you’d rather pick up NBA 2K25, you’ll find it for just $20 at Amazon. There are plenty of other sports games to peruse, so be sure to shop around if you need something to keep you busy until NBA Bounce arrives later this year.
