Own NBA 2K21 For Free

The Epic Games Store announced this morning that they’re choosing NBA 2K21 as this week’s Free Game. Unfortunately, Epic Games only provides games for desktop: PC and Mac.

If you download the game this week before 11:00 am EST on Thursday, May 27, you can own NBA 2K21 for free on these platforms!

With excitement for NBA 2K22 building, this could be in effort to encourage players to prepare players with NBA 2K21. With NBA 2K22’s trailers set to drop in August, the window for NBA 2K21 is beginning to close.
