NBA 2K23 Update 1.05 Patch Notes have officially arrived as the biggest update of the year has now deployed.
We've got the full official NBA 2K23 Update 1.05 Patch Notes so you can see what's been fixed and which player likenesses got updated.
NBA 2K23 Update 1.05 Patch Notes
For the first time this year, a major update has arrived for NBA 2K23 and we've actually gotten detailed patch notes.
NBA 2K23 Update 1.05 began deploying on the early morning of October 19 on both next gen and current gen consoles.
While officially dubbed NBA 2K23 New Gen Patch Update 2.0, we're still verifying the official version number and how it varies from platform to platform.
Showing just how significant this arrival is, NBA 2K23 Update 1.05 clocks in at a hefty 12.51 GB on Xbox Series X|S and a massive 51.62 GB on Xbox One.
However, it's worth noting the current gen size could be due to the Xbox system reinstalling parts of the game itself, and that download may not be only the update itself.
While it's already deployed on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, deployment on PC is still a few days away as 2K confirmed that NBA 2K23 Update will arrive on Friday, October 21, 2022.
We expect several of these changes will be the same on current gen, but the official current gen patch notes for this NBA 2K23 Update have yet to be released and should arrive soon.
With so many changes, let's get into the official next gen NBA 2K23 Update 1.05 Patch Notes:
