If you can’t wait to start balling this September, NBA 2K25 Early Tip-Off gives you early access to the latest basketball sim so you can play a few days ahead of everyone else. Here’s how to play NBA 2K25 early access.
How to play NBA 2K25 early access
NBA 2K25 Early Tip-Off is live now in all regions. If you pre-ordered any edition of the game, you can jump in and get your pre-order perks. Pre-orders before Sept. 4 get full benefits, but you can still pre-order the game right now and play ahead of its launch on Sept. 6.
To play early access, head to the store or library page of a storefront you bought it on and download the game, or use your physical copy if you bought one. As long as you own a copy of the game, you should be able to jump into NBA 2K25.
Which platforms and editions have NBA 2K25 early access?
Purchasing any of the four NBA 2K25 editions grants you early access. Early Tip-Off is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, but there is no NBA 2K25 early access on Nintendo Switch. The offer isn’t limited to digital copies, and you can get your physical copy of NBA 2K25 with early access from approved retailers starting today.
Jumping into early access also allows you to start your Season 1 journey earlier than other players, as it’s available right now alongside Early Tip-Off.
