Is NBA 2K24 on Switch?

The announcement of the latest instalment of the beloved NBA 2K series has got people asking if NBA 2K24 is on Switch.

Set to launch in September as we’ve come to expect with previous releases, fans are gearing up for what looks like an exciting new edition of the basketball series. So far, the gaming community are beside themselves with the news that NBA 2K24 will be crossplay between Xbox and PlayStation, meaning players on different platforms can compete with each other. On top of this, the series pays tribute to basketball legend Kobe Bryant to celebrate his legacy and impact on the sport. But what we’d like to know is whether the game will be on Switch.

Is NBA 2K24 on Switch?

NBA 2K24 will be available on Switch, as well as PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC. Those pre ordering a copy of the game will find the Kobe Bryant and Black Mamba editions are both available for Switch which is exciting news. You’ll find the bulkier Black Mamba edition comes with extra VC, bonus MyTEAM packs, MyCAREER skill boosts and much more. The only potential letdown for Switch fans is the potentially poorer performance for Switch, along with players gaming on PC. While we’re getting new game modes like PROPlay which is a new way to translate real NBA footage into 2K24 gameplay, it’s unclear how good the quality will be on Switch.

Will NBA 2K24 be different on Switch?

Since the game hasn’t been released yet, we can’t be sure how NBA 2K24 will be on Switch. What we do know is the Switch has a much less powerful graphics. This means we can expect the performance to be somewhat lower compared to PlayStation and Xbox consoles, that is, until a potential Switch 2 is announced. Still, that won’t stop you from enjoying the Kobe Bryant mode, though we’re a little worried about load times if the 2K24 version is going to be anything like the 2K23 version.
