Season 1 of NBA 2K27 has gone live alongside the early release, with Victor Wembanyama being the headline star for the first season of the game.
Named the captain of the Les Bleus at just 22, Wemby is regarded as one of the brightest young stars in the world.
The Spurs centerpiece has earned Rookie of the Year, two All-Star selections, two All-Defensive First-Team nods, and a unanimous DPOY award.
NBA 2K27 has also made a couple of changes to how the rewards work. Here's all you need to know about Season 1.
