NBA 2K23 comes out in less than a week, and PC players will be disappointed that the Steam and Epic Games edition is not the next-gen version available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Lots is being revealed about the game in the build-up to its launch. Take-Two Interactive has already revealed the soundtrack which has Megan Thee Stallion and 50+ other artists, and soon they will also announce the long-anticipated player ratings.
The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S version looks fantastic again, but players on computer will not be able to share the same experience for another year.

Is NBA 2K23 next-gen on PC?
The NBA 2K23 version on PC for Steam and Epic Games is not next-gen.
Confirmation of this comes courtesy of the official FAQ provided by Take-Two Interactive. Basically, the version on computers is the same as last-gen consoles, PS4 and Xbox One, along with Nintendo Switch.
This is something bound to upset players once again, especially seeing as this year’s FIFA is finally releasing the next-gen version on PC. Although the difference in graphics is upsetting, the biggest annoyance stems from the contrast in features.
Players on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S will again be able to enjoy the City, meanwhile everyone on computers will have to settle for the newly introduced G.O.A.T. Boat.
Why it’s current-gen
The NBA 2K23 FAQ says that the PC version is current/last-gen because the development team wanted to focus on optimising the next-gen experience for ‘the new consoles,’ PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
In addition, they also wanted to make sure ‘the experience remains fresh and innovative for players on other platforms’. This innovation can be seen with some new features exclusive to current-gen such as the G.O.A.T. Boat.
The FAQ mentions that the development team is passionate about bringing the next-generation experience to computers, and they ‘will continue to investigate what is possible for the franchise in the future’.
