NBA 2K25 to be delisted, servers shutting down
2K Sports and Take-Two Interactive have announced that NBA 2K25 will be delisted from digital storefronts on October 30, 2026. Its online servers are also scheduled for shutdown, which will render online multiplayer modes like MyCareer and MyTeam unplayable. Several outlets also report that single-player modes will become unplayable due to their reliance on online services.
There is some disagreement among outlets regarding the exact server shutdown date. Gaming Bolt reports the servers will go offline on December 31, 2027, while Gamespot and Games Industry state December 31, 2026. Metro UK and Playstation Lifestyle, however, report a shutdown date of January 1, 2027. This follows a pattern for the NBA 2K series, with NBA 2K27 also scheduled for a server shutdown two years post-release.
