If you’re still gaming on an Xbox One, you’re probably wondering: Will NBA 2K26 be available on Xbox One? Here’s what we know so far.
NBA 2K26 on Xbox One: Confirmed
Good news: NBA 2K26 will continue to support Gen 8 platforms, including Xbox One and PlayStation®4. This means you can play NBA 2K26 on your Xbox One at launch.
However, it’s important to note that the Gen 9 version of NBA 2K26 — which features enhanced graphics, new animations, and more advanced game modes — will be available only on:
PlayStation®5
Xbox Series X|S
Steam for PC
Nintendo Switch 2
The Xbox One and PS4 versions will still deliver the core NBA 2K experience, but with some limitations compared to next-gen consoles. For example, advanced features like ProPLAY animations, crossplay, and certain MyNBA options are only available on Gen 9.
Why Xbox One Is Still Supported
With millions of players still on Xbox One, 2K Sports continues to release last-gen versions to keep the game accessible. NBA 2K26 will follow the same approach as NBA 2K25 and NBA 2K24 — so you can keep playing even if you haven’t upgraded yet.
We recommend visiting the official NBA 2K site closer to release for exact feature lists for each platform.
