We all love running around in NBA 2K's The City. They've made somewhat of a living world in here, where everyone breathes basketball. Every iteration gets it's own upgrades, and 2K26 is no different. Check out the details on what improvements are coming to The City below!
Today, 2K announced the new features and updates coming to The City* in NBA® 2K26, including a more accessible and competitive layout, all-new Crews, redesigned Parks, new leaderboards and so much more on PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S, PC and Nintendo Switch™ 2.
“The City has become the epicenter of NBA 2K and basketball culture,” said Erick Boenisch, VP of NBA Development at Visual Concepts. “Ever since the introduction of the Park in 2K14, it has been our dream to create a place where players can chase the win through competition, community, and status. With things like our new accessible layout, leaderboards, and the new Crews feature, The City is built to give players the opportunity to put Ball Over Everything.”
More updates include:
New City Layout: The City features a more accessible and convenient layout helping players get on the court faster than ever. No matter where they are standing, players can see just about every area in The City and quickly go from one place to another. On PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S, players will be able to experience a smooth experience with more fluid movement and camera panning as The City will now run at 60 frames per second for the first time ever.
Season Parks: Park makes a return with bold new features to make every season and even every day a new experience. A new Park will be introduced every season including HD remasters of all four iconic NBA 2K16 MyPARKs and will feature a realistic aesthetic with more natural and grounded real-world environments. Players can compete to become the Park MVP, go on a hot streak and get their name stamped right on the court for everyone to see or break a team’s winning streak and earn more VC with the Streak Breaker bonus. Upon launch, Season 1’s Park is a brand new locale called Skyline Park, set in a magnificent urban environment that captures the essence of hooping and competing on your favorite neighborhood courts.
All-New Crews: Players can gather their friends and community members and create their own Crew, complete with their own logo and Crew level displayed in their MyPLAYER nameplate. Players can keep their Crew small with close friends or allow up to 50 players to join. As players ball with their Crew and complete weekly goals they will rise through the ranks of all 30 Crew levels and earn rewards in the process including Custom Crew logos, Custom branded Crew clothing, VC or REP multipliers and more!
Leaderboards & Statues: Scattered throughout The City, the all-new leaderboards will highlight the best of best in a number of new categories. New Mode leaderboards track and spotlight the players with the most wins across various modes and a 12-foot statue of the number one ranked MyPLAYER in each mode will appear outside of that mode’s building for ultimate bragging rights. Players can compete to become the top ranked player in their respective region with the all-new Geo Rank leaderboard and earn a custom show-off flair shown during their pre-game intro. Crew leaderboards lets everyone know which Crew is currently the best in The City.
Pro-AM Summit: The City will also feature the Pro-AM Summit twice a season, where players can compete in 3v3 or 5v5 tournaments to earn elite rewards.
Street Kings: The new Street Kings mode offers players a place to sharpen their skills and battle against skilled CPU bosses. The Street Kings location takes over NBA 2K25’s Streetball courts, compacting them into one convenient location that features an impressive collegiate-style Roman-inspired architecture.
Additional Updates and Features: The City features more new updates and features including all-new Beginner, Daily, Seasonal and Lifetime challenges, the ability to easily swap between MyPLAYER builds without leaving The City, and an updated MyCOURT, a dedicated place for players to work on their skills and more.
