@gamesdotgg: 2K has confirmed that NBA 2K25 will be delisted from all digital storefronts in January 2027, just over two years after launch. As a result, the online servers will shut down at the same time. The delisting itself is not unusual for the series, but the server shutdown is a different story. Because NBA 2K25's single-player modes including MyCareer and MyNBA are tied to online infrastructure, switching them off makes the entire game completely unplayable, not just the online modes. Players who bought the game digitally will lose access to everything. This is exactly the scenario consumer groups and lawmakers have been pointing to when arguing against the current state of digital game ownership. 2K has not offered refunds or any form of compensation to affected players. #nba2k #2k25 #nba2k25 #2kgames #gamingnews
This is genuinely criminal. The game was $70 and I can only play it for 2 years? I literally bought 2k25 bc they shut down 2k23🤦♂️Not buying anymore, I’ll just play basketball in GTA6

This just reiterates the fact that Sports games don't need yearly releases, especially for $70

The prime reason why they want to get rid of physical copies. So you are forced to constantly buy new and never get to actually own it.

They just need to make a game called NBA 2k and just update that game every year and stop coming out with the same game every year, just update to game like Fortnite does.

They shouldn’t be able to do this. If someone pays $70 for the base edition and like $100 for the special whatever version on top of in game purchases you should be capable of doing any n everything you wanted in the game. I think this is another reason they’re trying ti completely disregard game discs but that’s just my opinion 🤷♂️

I’m of the opinion that if you make a forced online game you should be forced to keep the servers up.

They literally make the same copy paste games every year and everyone will still blow $70 on it

Locking offline solo play behind a server is atrocious and why I will never pay for another 2k, and will forever be done when what I have is fully locked. I always hated the city and tying my offline career to an online server.
