NBA 2K25 Pre-Orders

NBA 2K25 has four different editions and each one is filled with virtual goodies that get better and better the more expensive it is. Fans of the franchise who want to secure their copies now but also want to keep a lookout for other titles should probably get the Standard Edition.

This particular version of the game is featured in Target's Buy 2 Get 1 free sale alongside many other games on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles. This particular sale also includes many other upcoming titles.

If you are among the people who play the game before Oct. 17, 2024, you will be eligible for the Limited Time Trendsetter Reward.

This will give you 15,000 VC along with in-game content, including the Trendsetter Green Animation, 2 HR XP Coin, exclusive Trendsetter Cosmetic Set, and many more, according to GameSpot.

The Standard Edition costs $69.99 and pre-order bonuses include 5,000 VC, 2x MyTEAM Promo Pack, and 1x MyPLAYER Gameplate. For the WNBA Edition, the pre-order bonus is only 5,000 VC.

Now, the All-Star Edition for NBA 2K25 will cost you $99.99 but will include 100,000 VC, 10x MyTEAM Player Card, 3x Diamond Shoe Card, 3x Takeover Boost, 1x Amethyst Coach Card, 150x Skill Boost, and 75x Gatorade Boost, among other bonuses.

But the Hall of Fame Edition, which is the most expensive at $149.99, will include everything the All-Star Edition has but adds a Vince Carter Cover Jersey, a Season 1 Pro Pass with four upfront Pro Pass rewards, and a 12-month NBA League Pass subscription, said Video Games.

Offering New Features

NBA 2L25 will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch when it launches later this year. The latest entry in the franchise is making history by offering MyNBA, The W, and in The City mode parity between different platforms.

This means that players on those consoles will gain access to the New-Gen version of the game that features ProPLAYTM technology. However, PC versions of NBA 2K25 will not get crossplay support as this is only available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox consoles.

The official description of the game says that with NBA 2K25, players will be able to forge a dynasty in MyCAREER, compete in new MyTEAM modes, and experience an added sixth era in MyNBA.

It also features a more compact and interactive City along with a chance for players to cement their G.O.A.T. status in The W.

On top of the updates in MyCAREER and MyTEAM, those who are playing on Current-Gen will experience an all-new Neighborhood metropolis that can be explored, according to Variety.
