NBA 2K22 Update 1.05 & 1.009 Patch Notes for October 20
NBA 2K22 Update 1.05 and 1.009 have already gone live on all platforms, and that means players on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One should each have a significant download waiting for them.
As of now, it looks like the approximate download size on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S is just 8 GB while the current gen update is much more significant.
On PS4, this NBA 2K22 Update clocks in at 43.679 GB, but it's upwards of 55.66 GB on Xbox One.
The release of NBA 2K22 Update 1.05 (PS4) and 1.009 (PS5) coincided with the announcement of NBA 2K22 Season 2: Build Your Empire.
Some users are already reporting the Rebirth reward and quest are active in-game, two whole days before the Season 2 launch, and some are stating certain glitches have been fixed and new animations added.
Fortunately, we now have full details on what 2K has turned their attention to this time.
We haven't been able to confirm that the update went live on PC yet, but it could be delayed or set to arrive with a different timing.
