What is NBA 2K23 Next-Gen and will it come to PC and Nintendo Switch in 2022?
That’s the question fans are asking after it was revealed that the annual release is coming to multiple platforms.
And with so many different versions available for purchase and add-ons to consider, it pays to know exactly what you’re getting when the final product hits shelves.
Was ist NBA 2K23 Next-Gen?
Visual Concepts is now releasing two different versions of its annual basketball game, following the launch of the latest consoles from Sony and Microsoft. NBA 2K23 Next-Gen will be the version of the game that offers the best performance and visual fidelity, and usually features a more complex world to explore. Last gen versions include PS4 and Xbox One which are unable to run the most advanced version of the game due to hardware limitations.
And while we don’t know exactly what’s planned for NBA 2K23, we do know that the PC and Nintendo Switch versions of the game won’t be next-gen. This makes sense for the handheld console, which is notoriously less powerful than the PS4 and Xbox One.
However, some fans may be surprised to hear that NBA 2K23 on PC isn’t next-gen and is in fact the same version gamers are playing on PS4, Xbox One, and Switch. Visual Concepts has confirmed that NBA 2K23 will not offer any next-gen option on the PC platform, although this could change in the future.
The full statement from the NBA 2K23 team reads, “Are there any plans to bring the next generation of NBA 2K titles to PC and Nintendo Switch in the future?
“The team is passionate about this and will continue to explore what’s possible for the franchise in the future. For now, the focus has been to ensure NBA 2K23 is optimized for the new consoles (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S) while ensuring the experience remains fresh and innovative for players on other platforms.”
