NBA 2K27 will drop PS4 support entirely, becoming PS5-only when it launches on 4th September, ending a longer-than-usual last-generation support run for the annual basketball series. The move signals 2K Sports is fully shifting focus to current-generation hardware, and the game arrives with three cover athletes rather than the usual single star, reflecting an apparent effort to broaden the release's appeal.

San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama fronts the £57-ish ($69.99) Standard Edition, with WNBA sensation Caitlin Clark headlining the $99.99 Deluxe Edition and Chicago Bulls legend Derrick Rose on the $149.99 Ultra Edition. Higher-tier editions bundle extras such as virtual currency, MyCAREER and MyTEAM content, and early access from 28th August, a week ahead of the main release. A full gameplay reveal is due on 28th July, though 2K's press release has so far offered little detail on what's actually new in modes like MyCareer and The City.
