The NBA 2022 offseason is well underway, with the 2022-23 season just over the horizon. Of course, this means that fans can look forward to the release of yet another installment in the NBA 2K franchise, as NBA 2K23 is rapidly approaching.
On July 5, NBA 2K23 made waves by announcing Michael Jordan as the cover athlete for both the ‘Michael Jordan Edition’ and ‘Championship Edition’ of the game. Shortly after, the game’s official release date, pre-order date, and editions were all released to fans.
