Overview

NBA 2K24 is a 2023 basketball video game developed by Visual Concepts Austin and published by 2K. Based on the National Basketball Association (NBA), it is the 25th installment in the NBA 2K franchise, the successor to NBA 2K23 and the predecessor to NBA 2K25. The game was released on September 8, 2023, for Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. The NBA 2K24 Arcade Edition was released on iOS, macOS and tvOS through Apple Arcade on October 24, 2023. The online servers for the game were shut down on December 31, 2025.

NBA 2K23 introduced various eras in the MyNBA mode. All of those eras return with the addition of the "LeBron era" which begins in the 2010-11 NBA season when LeBron James teamed up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on the Miami Heat. The presentation graphics in this era are based on the ones from NBA 2K10, albeit with the score bug being placed in the bottom right instead of the top, along with the UI fonts being changed. In addition Mamba Moments are the equivalent to the Jordan Challenge in 2K23, but now players can play and recreate some of Kobe Bryant's most memorable and exciting moments of his career.

2K24 became the second worst reviewed game on Steam upon its release behind only Overwatch 2 in large part to the continued increase in microtransactions in the franchise, which resulted in 2K's parent company Take-Two Interactive being sued. One of the big changes in the game is the redesigned market which allows players to purchase any MyTeam card, which resulted in complaints calling 2K24 "pay-to-win". The PC version of the game was also criticized for not including the new technology to improve animations like the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions have. In addition, Steam users reported recurring bugs and errors, many of which were said to have carried over from NBA 2K23. Despite many negative reviews, many critics have argued that the game has very "authentic" gameplay.
