The cover athlete has already been revealed, with Kobe Bryant being the face of NBA 2K24. All editions of the game have also been announced, as well as their price and rewards.
Each edition brings a different pre-order bonus, with some even being time-limited offers. This leaves many players wondering what each edition offers, and which one is the best for them.
So, let's find out what each NBA 2K24 Pre-Order edition offers.
Latest: NBA 2K24 gameplay trailer released
2K has finally released the NBA 2K24 gameplay trailer. The trailer showcased all the new gameplay features that were introduced, and it also explained how these features will impact the gameplay.
Many of the gameplay features were revamped, such as shooting, dunking, and dribbling, with strength and width being tuned. Defense and offense also underwent some changes, with the game becoming more skill-based on both sides.
2K also released more information on the ProPLAY technology. This feature will have a huge impact on the gameplay, making it feel much more authentic and realistic
Kobe Bryant Edition
This is the NBA 2K24 standard edition, and the one most players will acquire. Just like in previous years, this edition has the fewest rewards, but it's also the most affordable one.
The Kobe Bryant edition costs $79.99 for next-gen console players. PC and old-gen players will have to cough up $69.99.
Most fans are not happy that 2K decided to have different prices for old and next-gen platforms. This is something most publishers have abandoned and for a good reason. Even with the next-gen players having exclusive access to some new features, it doesn't seems right.
When it comes to the pre-order bonus of this edition, they are the following:
- 5k VC
- 5k MyTeam points
- 10 MyTeam Promo Packs (delivered once a week)
- 5x Six MyCAREER Boost Types
- 3x Three Gatorade Boost Types
- 95 OVR Kobe Bryant MyTeam Free Agent Card

Contrary to the Kobe Bryant edition, this edition has just one price for all the platforms. The edition costs $99.99 and is available for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation, PC and Nintendo Switch.
As mentioned above, the Black Mamba edition has plenty of rewards. These rewards can help players easily create a competitive MyTeam squad. They also help users evolve their MyPlayer, and improve their character attributes in a faster way.

25th Anniversary Edition
The NBA 2K24 25th Anniversary edition is by far the most expensive one. That's because it offers all the rewards of the other two, and adds a cherry on top.
Similar to the Black Mamba edition, this edition is also available on all platforms. It costs a whopping $149.99, which is much more than most people are willing to pay for a video game.
However, there is something that separates this edition from the others, and that might make it worth the price. That's the 12-month NBA League Pass subscription that it offers.
For hardcore NBA fans that also enjoy playing NBA 2K, this is a great deal. Not only do they get a plethora of rewards in NBA 2K24, but they can also watch all the games of their favourite NBA team.
If you want to be really competitive in NBA 2K24, and also enjoy watching NBA games, the 25th Anniversary edition is perfect for you. It includes all the bonuses of the two previous editions, plus:
