It won’t be long now before NBA 2K23 is in our hands. In case you weren’t aware, the game is set to launch on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch on September 9th. That means there’s still time to pre-order NBA 2K23 if you haven’t done so already.

Obviously, pre-ordering the game will grant you a variety of bonuses, depending on the version that you opt for. As previously announced, there are five editions of NBA 2K23: Standard, Digital Deluxe, Michael Jordan, Championship, and WNBA, the last of which is exclusive to GameStop in the United States and Canada. Each has its own cover art, price point, and again, pre-order bonuses. Today, I’m providing a guide as to which version of NBA 2K23 to pre-order, if indeed you have the need and desire to pre-purchase a copy of this year’s game.

To that point, this isn’t intended to instruct anyone to pre-order NBA 2K23, or shill for the expensive special editions. In fact, I’ll also be laying out why you don’t need to pre-order NBA 2K23 at all, and why the Standard Edition may be sufficient if you are intent on pre-ordering. Depending on the mode you play, whether you’re a collector and/or content creator, and your general enthusiasm for the series and forthcoming game, the value of reserving a copy and receiving the individual pre-order bonuses will vary. You should always aim to be a savvy consumer, and it’s my aim to help my fellow basketball gamers to make an informed decision in that regard.

Shams Charania leaked it last week, but 2K have now officially announced that Devin Booker is the cover player for the standard edition of NBA 2K23. If you’ve missed the previous announcements, the special and championship editions feature Michael Jordan/his signed jersey on the cover, while the WNBA edition cover players are Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi.

As with the previous announcements, 2K has posted a teaser trailer featuring Devin Booker, as well as a first look screenshot and behind-the-scenes video of the cover shoot. You can check them out below, along with the full cover art.

NBA 2K23 is now available to pre-order, and will be released on September 9th, 2022. The pre-order bonuses have been revealed, and include the usual assortment of VC, MT, MyTEAM cards, and cosmetic items. Notably, as originally reported by IGN, the Championship Edition also includes a year’s subscription to NBA League Pass. Special editions include the same pre-order bonuses as the standard edition, in addition to their own bonuses.

Further information on the different editions and their pre-order bonuses can be found below. What are your thoughts on this year’s bonuses, and Devin Booker being one of the NBA 2K23 cover players? Have your say in the comments, and join in the discussion here in the Forum!

Following the reveal of the Michael Jordan Edition of NBA 2K23, 2K has announced the cover players of the WNBA Edition: Sue Bird of the Seattle Storm, and Diana Taurasi of the Phoenix Mercury.

As with last year’s WNBA Edition featuring Candace Parker on the cover, it will be a GameStop exclusive in the United States and Canada. All editions of NBA 2K23 will feature WNBA content, though it remains to be seen if the Current Gen/PC version has any of the WNBA modes that were introduced on Next Gen.

To celebrate their WNBA cover players’ commitment to equal opportunities for all athletes, 2K will also be donating $100,000 to Every Kid Sports. The donation will help increase access to youth basketball programs for over 550 girls from income-restricted families.

In addition to the cover art for the WNBA Edition of NBA 2K23, 2K has released in-game screenshots of Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi. You can check those out below, along with a teaser trailer. Further announcements, including the likely official reveal of Devin Booker as the standard edition cover player, will be coming soon. In the meantime, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments, as well as join in the discussion in our NBA 2K23 Forum!

On the heels of the apparent leak revealing that Devin Booker will be the NBA 2K23 cover player, we have official confirmation…of the face of this year’s special edition! 2K has announced the NBA 2K23 Michael Jordan Edition, featuring His Airness on the cover.

Additionally, it’s been revealed that NBA 2K23 will feature a revamped version of The Jordan Challenge. All of the original challenges will be included, albeit built from the ground up. Five additional games have been added, and the mode will also cover his accomplishments with Team USA.

There will also be a Championship Edition of NBA 2K23, featuring a signed Michael Jordan jersey on its cover. According to IGN, the Championship Edition will feature a year’s subscription to NBA League Pass. No additional details on the price or pre-order bonuses are available as yet, but that information should be coming soon. Both editions will be available to pre-order from July 7th.

2K has also revealed screenshots of 80s MJ and 90s MJ in NBA 2K23, along with a teaser trailer that replicates his famous free throw line dunk from the 1988 Dunk Contest. According to a caption in the trailer, it features gameplay from the Next Gen version of NBA 2K23. Check out the trailer and screenshots below, along with the cover art for both special editions.

From courtside of the virtual hardwood, it’s Episode #433 of the NLSC Podcast!

The official Electronic Arts and WWE Games Twitter accounts made bewildering gaffes this past week, and like many of our fellow gamers, we’re unimpressed. Obsidian, meanwhile, displayed an attitude that we’d like to see more often. Elsewhere, NBA insider Shams Charania apparently leaked the NBA 2K23 cover player, and we have some thoughts on 2K’s choice. Since the NBA 2K23 preview season is almost upon us, we also reflect on NBA 2K22, summing up our final thoughts on the game, and giving it a rating out of ten. After reminiscing about a satisfying session of NBA Jam: On Fire Edition, we open up the mailbag to discuss who should be the five best-rated players in NBA 2K23.

The NBA 2K23 preview season is right around the corner, which means we’re beginning to receive teasers from the official NBA 2K Twitter account. However, as I noted yesterday, it appears that NBA insider Shams Charania decided to leak the identity of the NBA 2K23 cover player: Devin Booker.

In a Tweet reporting Booker’s four-year, $214 million supermax extension, Charania casually threw out that per his sources, the Suns’ All-Star guard will be gracing the cover of NBA 2K23. This potential NBA 2K23 cover player leak hasn’t yet been addressed by 2K, and Charania’s original Tweet remains up as of this post.

While such scoops are obviously common in professional sports, video game publishers are generally quite particular when it comes to revealing details about forthcoming releases. With that in mind, this could be merely a rumour, or 2K may have approved a “leak”. It’s also worth noting that 2K’s teaser Tweet mentions cover players (plural), suggesting there are more than one. This wouldn’t be surprising of course, as 2K has previously featured additional cover players for its special and international editions.

For the moment, the NBA 2K23 cover player remains unconfirmed, though I’m guessing we’ll have an official announcement soon. However, Shams Charania isn’t just some random person wildly speculating on social media, so it’s quite likely that Devin Booker is indeed one of the featured players this year.
