NBA 2K24 Update Releases Ahead of Season 4

NBA 2K24's first major update of the year has arrived.

By Logan Moore

Visual Concepts has released the first substantial patch for NBA 2K24 ahead of the start of Season 4 later this week. At this point, NBA 2K24 is nearing the halfway mark in its annualized support from 2K. In the near term, though, Season 4 is set to start very shortly in NBA 2K24 and will bring with it a ton of new experiences for players to dig into. Prior to that time, a new patch has now been let loose to prepare fans for this wave of additional content. 

For the most part, today's NBA 2K24 update merely lays the groundwork for Season 4, which will begin this Friday, January 12. As such, many of the biggest overhauls in this patch aren't live just yet. When it comes to what has been altered now, Visual Concepts has made a couple of gameplay tweaks and has also improved the stability of the City. As expected, there are a variety of bug fixes in this update as well, which means that NBA 2K24 should be much better than it was previously. 

You can check out all of the changes that have been made for Season 4 in NBA 2K24 via the official patch notes attached below.
