[p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Your favorite players and teams, all in one place at the heart of basketball. Welcome to the World of 2K.[/p]

[p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]NBA 2K26 welcomes you back to The City on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2, where competition, community, and status lay the foundation of this burgeoning basketball mecca.[/p][p][/p][p]The City in NBA 2K26 is driven by hoops, with a more accessible and competitive layout to keep you on the court more often, and introduces a host of all-new features.

You can see just about every area in The City no matter where you are standing, very quickly go from one place to another and, most importantly, get on the court faster.[/p][p][/p][p]Scan your surroundings and spot jetsetting planes and hovering helicopters that take flight in the distance, adding to the dynamic nature of this living, breathing environment. Based on community feedback, The City also received new lighting improvements including a fixed time-of-day that will reduce harsh shadows and sunlight when playing games outdoors in places like the Park. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]2K26’s City features an open-air plaza, with the Gatorade Training Facility, Event Center, Arena, and other locations all within walking distance. The Theater, REC, Proving Grounds, and more line the perimeter of The City, making it easy to go door-to-door to play in all of the refreshed lobbies, courts, and arenas.
[/p][p]Stroll the stone walkways and observe the multiple directory boards prominently displaying leaderboards with the top MyPLAYERs and your Crew. Find your friends and start competing to climb the ranks in this bustling community of hoopers.
[/p][p]Take your first steps in The City and survey a world where everything is within reach.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Before The City developed into the thriving basketball metropolis we know today, there was the Park. Introduced in NBA 2K14, the Park was the birthplace of online MyPLAYER competition, where friends and the community could come together to enjoy pick-up games. [/p][p][/p][p]Long a defining part of NBA 2K, Parks are BACK in NBA 2K26 with bold new features to make every season and even every day a new experience.[/p][p][/p][p]The past few years, The City has been an amusement park of sorts, with fantastical regions and futuristic environments. NBA 2K26’s new Parks are getting back to the basics with a more natural and grounded feel for a more realistic aesthetic, typical of what you’d see in a real-world environment.[/p][p][/p][p]Access the Park by entering the giant, rotating basketball that not only serves as the centerpiece of The City, but also as your gateway to a new location featuring stunning courts. [/p][p][/p][p]At the start of each new Season, every six weeks, a different Park environment will be introduced. Along with a number of new original designs, you will also find yourself playing in complete HD remasters of all four iconic NBA 2K16 MyPARKs.[/p][p][/p][p]Season 1’s Park is a brand new locale called Skyline Park, set in a magnificent urban environment that captures the essence of hooping and competing on your favorite neighborhood courts. [/p][p][/p][p]Team up with your friends and visit the Park to start competing for bragging rights and rewards. To further celebrate the return of the Park, competition is incentivized with Park MVPs, Streak Setters, Streak Breakers, and a 25% REP Bonus to keep you coming back for bragging rights and leveling up.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Park MVPs[/h3][p][/p][p]The top REP player in each Park server will be marked with a Park MVP icon, visible above their head and also in the bird’s-eye view of the courts so that you can easily spot where they are playing. [/p][p][/p][p]Playing against the Park MVP can be a very rewarding experience. If you can defeat the Park MVP, you’ll earn 5XREP AND 5XVC for that game! The Park MVP bonus is earnable once every three hours, so get out there and chase them down.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Streak Setters[/h3][p][/p][p]Etch your greatness in the Park by setting the longest win streak for a court in the current season. The players with the longest streak on each court will have their names spotlighted right on the side of the court for all to see! Take over a court, rattle off consecutive wins, and stamp your name as the top MyPLAYER on the block.[/p][p][/p][h3]Streak Breakers[/h3][p][/p][p]On the flip side, derail another team’s active winning streaks to earn more VC. With the all-new Streak Breaker bonus, there’s real motivation to seek out the hottest teams in the Park and end their reign.[/p][p][/p][p]The longer your opponent’s streak, the more VC you’ll earn for snapping it. Start earning bonus VC by snapping five-game win streaks. Once a team reaches 20 wins in a row, every win after that adds 1,000 VC to the total you can earn for stopping them. For example, if you’re the one to end a 30-game win streak, you’ll earn a 30,000 VC bonus.[/p][p][/p][p]There’s no limit to how many Streak Breaker bonuses you can earn in a day, so reap the rewards with every streak you spoil.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]REP Boost[/h3][p][/p][p]Boost your MyPLAYER REP in the Park with a 25% REP bonus! All Park games played in NBA 2K26 will activate a 25% REP boost; level up to earn rewards and upgrades to your on-court performance. Continue reading to learn more about the REP rewards available in NBA 2K26.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Rally your friends and establish your own affiliation with an all-new feature in 2K26 called Crews. You can team up with your friends and community members to earn great rewards. [/p][p][/p][p]Crews can be tight-knit with you and your friends if you want, or grow up to 50 players. Crews offer flexibility and a more creative outlet for everyone. Your MyPLAYER nameplate will allow others to see which Crew you are representing, your Crew logo, and your Crew level to show off your progress![/p][p][/p][p]Simply play games or work with your Crew to complete weekly goals that help you rise through the ranks of all 30 Crew levels, earning rewards in the process, including:[/p][p][/p]

At each tier, players can unlock different rewards, ranging from Cap Breakers, Boosters, Animations, VC, and more.[/p][p] [/p][p]Earn your place in NBA 2K26 and accumulate REP to achieve Legend status.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Twice a season, teams in The City will come together for the Pro-Am Summit to compete in 3v3 and 5v5 tournaments.[/p][p][/p][p]The Pro-Am Summit will happen every three weeks, with competitive play happening on Saturday and Sunday of Summit weekends.
