NBA 2K25 to feature Steph Era MyNBA mode

Relive or challenge one of the greatest NBA dynasties

Published

NBA 2K25 will introduce new innovations to both its MyNBA and MyGM modes for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. 2K’s announcement is highlighted by the Steph Era mode on MyNBA.

In the Steph Era MyNBA mode, fans can relive the championship-studded legacy of Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors.

Curry, of course, also won the first ever unanimous MVP plum back in 2016. In NBA 2K25, players start the journey in 2016 — the same season where the Warriors won a league record 73 regular season games.

The Warriors star is undoubtedly one of the best players of his time, and maybe even of all-time. As if his place in the annals of basketball greats haven’t been cemented yet, Curry made sure to add an Olympic gold medal to his collection of accolades, which includes four NBA championships, two league MVPs, a Finals MVP award, and multiple all-star and all-NBA selections.

Players may choose to run it back with Curry’s teammates like Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, and Draymond Green. Alternatively, they may also challenge the super team and rewrite history themselves with, you know, the Cleveland Cavaliers or perhaps the Los Angeles Clippers or Toronto Raptors.

Meanwhile, the Emirates NBA Cup will also be integrated to NBA 2K25 in a more in-depth manner. Aside from these improvements, players may look forward to customize the size of their MyNBA league from 12 to 36, as if taking themselves back into the 80s and 90s or moving forward to an NBA expansion before it even happens yet in reality.

MyGM on new-gen consoles

Moreover, MyGM is going to be available on new-gen consoles for the first time. This shall allow players to step into the role of an NBA General Manager, creating the foundation of a dynasty from the fanbase to team ownership.

In NBA 2K25, players will see a redesigned MyGM experience. It starts with them choosing their own GM backstory to define their managerial style. There are plenty of options to choose from, like Ex-Player, Previous Scout, Savant of Finance, or Closer, among others.

Each backstory will determine initial attributes and baseline boosts, leading to different playstyles for running a franchise. And in line with MyGM, the game will also introduce dynamic conversations for a highly customizable experience.

These simplified yet meaningful interactions will significantly affect a player’s team trajectory and outcomes. Backstory and attribute ratings can come into play during these conversations, and unlock more paths when GMs choose a dialogue response that best satisfies a player’s goals.

Lastly, NBA 2K25 shall introduce a new perk system. This will allow players to unlock perks with extra capabilities to help increase GM skills upon achieving goals. There will an initial set of 55 Perks in MyGM starting at launch. Each offer a boost to specific areas of a player’s GM skills, both on and off the court.

Project Helix is Xbox’s next console, and it plays PC games

It might be as powerful as a modern PC.

Among all the platforms in today’s generation of consoles, the Xbox has to be biggest loser. Compared to the PlayStation 5 and the Switch 2, the Xbox Series X|S isn’t as memorable. To rectify its position in the rankings, Xbox is heavily teasing its next console codenamed Project Helix.

As was hinted before, Xbox is trying something different with its next-generation console. Rather than just a simple iteration over the current-generation console, the upcoming one will reportedly double as a PC. Today, the company itself has confirmed that this is the case for Project Helix.

Through a post on X, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma said that the console will “lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games.”

There are two things to unpack here. Firstly, Project Helix will aim to bridge the perilous divide between console players and PC players. Unlike the past, there will be a way to play both platforms on both devices… except for games exclusive to the PlayStation and the Switch, that is.

Secondly, a “lead in performance” seems to indicate that this isn’t just a mini-PC. Most recently, Valve announced the Steam Machine. Though it offers a convenient way to play Steam games in one device, it doesn’t have the best specs. Project Helix, if Sharma’s words are to be believed, might be as powerful as a modern PC.

Xbox won’t wait long before revealing more details about the console. Sharma, who only recently started her post as CEO, will be at next week’s Game Developers Conference to explain Project Helix more.

Ubisoft confirms Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remake

It’s officially called Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced.

If you ask an Assassin’s Creed fan what their favorite game of the series is, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag will likely be one of the top contenders. Because of its reputation, gamers are constantly asking for a remake of the popular pirate simulator. Now, the dream is finally here. Ubisoft has confirmed that a remake, called Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, is coming.

Released in 2013, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag saw the journey of Edward Kenway, a vagabond pirate haplessly thrust into life as part of the Assassin Brotherhood against his will. The critically acclaimed game was something that all gamers have been clamoring for since Sid Meier’s Pirates: a true pirate simulator. It was no surprise that the game got as popular as it did.

Today, through an official roadmap shared by the company, Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced is real, and it might launch later this year. The company also released the first concept art for the remake.

Currently, there’s no official word as to how Ubisoft is remaking the game. At the very least, we can expect significant graphical upgrades to put it up to par with the modern games. We wouldn’t be opposed to more stories and missions too.

Now, though the Black Flag remake is already a big deal, the same roadmap also emphasizes that Codename Hexe, the next mainline title, is still coming. Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed the actual timeline yet, but the game will depict “a pivotal moment in history.” With post-launch development for the ongoing Shadows winding down, efforts to launch Codename Hexe should be ramping up soon.

PlayStation will stop releasing its games on PC

A new reports suggests that Sony is going back to console exclusives.

PC-only gamers have been eating well for the past few years. The formerly exclusive PlayStation library opened its gates and released worthy ports for PC. Unfortunately, Sony is putting an end to this short-lived era of openness to PC gamers. According to a new report, the company is once again making first-party PlayStation games exclusive to the console.

During the pandemic, Sony started releasing its critically acclaimed first-party games on PC. The new wave saw gamers get the ability to play titles such as Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and God of War on another platform. Even now, players are still eagerly awaiting the PC launch of Death Stranding 2, due out later this year.

However, as reported by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, Sony has just had a change of heart and will no longer release any more games on the PC, beyond those already confirmed for future launches.

This will mean that last year’s Ghost of Yotei and the upcoming Saros will remain PlayStation exclusives for the foreseeable future.

It’s a big change to Sony’s direction. However, it’s not without its precedents. For one, Microsoft has started to compete in the non-exclusive market. The company is already set to launch Fable and Forza Horizon 6 on other platforms, including PC and PlayStation, concurrently with the Xbox launch. To compare, PlayStation still waits a long time before launching exclusive games on PC.

Also, now that rumors have begun to speak of a fabled PlayStation 6, Sony might want to keep things close to its chest for now. After all, selling the console might be its top priority for now.
