MyCareer NBA 2K24

MyCareer is probably the most-played Game Mode in NBA 2K. Here players can live out their hoop dreams, controlling a player that can be in their likeness. The Game Mode has seen many storylines over the years. In NBA 2K24, the focus is on becoming The Greatest Of All Time or simple, The GOAT.

How you build your GOAT MyPlayer is entirely up to you. Full details of which are on this Courtside Report. What we’ll share here instead are the many gameplays you’ll experience in your journey to becoming the very best, like no one ever was.

From GOT NEXT to GOAT

For the first time in a while, your MyCareer will start with plenty of expectations. You’re coming in as the most highly touted prospect in the last 20 years. You’ll have an opportunity to learn from NBPA Player President CJ McCollum and Executive Director Tamika Tremaglio on to get from the GOT NEXT Tier to the GOAT Tier.

Key Games

Making a comeback are Key Games. Previously present in NBA 2K13 and NBA 2K14, My Career in NBA 2K24 encourages you to really play out an entire career. To do that, there will be Key Games throughout an NBA Season that you can skip to. Worried about your stats? NBA 2K promises that they’ve figured out a way to make your general game averages mostly play out the same during simulated games.

Beachfront City

An all-new 2K means an all-new The City. This time, it’ll be set in the beachfront. 2K also said the space is a little bit smaller now making it easier to move around. They also said there will be less sidequests now that might get in the way of the focus-on-the-game mindset players.

Rep your affiliation

The City will bring competitiveness to the forefront with Affiliations. Instead of four from previous games, NBA 2K24 will only have two — RISE and ELITE. Each Season, members of RISE and ELITE will fight to lift their Affiliation to victory, with the winning side reaping new prizes.Naturally, you start unaffiliated, but will choose a side later on. Stay in the Top 10 of your chosen Affiliation and get special rewards.

Starting 5

Want something new? Starting 5 is an online, 1v1, head-to-head mode on New Gen. Players can challenge each other as they choose a team and slot their MyPLAYER into the starting lineup alongside some of the NBA’s biggest names.

Streetball Side Quest

Do you prefer a single player experience? 2K didn’t forget about you. In Streetball Side Quest, there are three courts in The City. Each court presents its own set of challenge bosses and teams. Think of it like challenging a Gym Leader in Pokémon.

Streetball has its own progression system, with the chance to earn a Takeover perk, and offers a unique style of competition.

For full details on the new updates coming to MyCAREER and The City in NBA 2K24 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles, check out the latest Courtside Report.

NBA 2K24 is currently scheduled for release on September 8 for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms. For more information, please visit the NBA 2K24 official website.

Elden Ring Nightreign is getting a DLC update this December

The update introduces two new Nightfarers and bosses.

After Shadow of the Erdtree concluded the Elden Ring saga, FromSoftware kept the fire going with Elden Ring Nightreign, a multiplayer-focused standalone roguelike set in the same universe. It was a unique experience that breathed new life into the studio’s tough-as-nails dynamic. Now, before the year ends, FromSoftware has announced The Forsaken Hollows, a new DLC coming for Nightreign.

Even from launch, it was apparent that FromSoftware had content updates in store for Nightreign. The studio promised new maps and Nightfarers for the multiplayer game.

Yesterday, an earnings report hinted that the DLC was shipping out potentially early next year. Today, the studio dispelled all speculation and said that the DLC is definitely coming before the year ends.

The announcement expands the already-meaty game with two new playable Nightfarers: the arcane-wielding Scholar and the strength-slash-faith-focused Undertaker. Both characters, featured in the trailer, will introduce their special set of skills in the continuous battle against the Nightlord.

Besides the two new characters, two new bosses are coming to Limveld. We don’t know much about the two bosses. However, knowing FromSoftware, the studio is likely keeping them under wraps, so they can stomp on us harder.

Finally, the update introduces a new Shifting Earth area called The Great Hollow. The area is filled with “exotic ruins and temples; sacred towers denoting the remains of an ancient people; and crystals that exude a cursed, life-draining miasma.”

The Forsaken Hollows is a paid DLC coming to Elden Ring Nightreign on December 3. Though the DLC can be purchased separately, it’s already included in the Deluxe Edition and the Collectors Edition. It’s also available for those who purchased the Deluxe Edition Upgrade.

PlayStation might soon let you buy PC games

Cross-Buy might bundle your PS5 games with a PC version.

Maintaining a gaming library between different platforms is a chore, especially for multiplayer games. It’s way too common to buy a new game on one platform, only to find out that your friends bought it on another. This could lead to double buying or forever missing out on playing with friends. Now, PlayStation, if a new leak is to be believed, will finally help cure the curse of platform mismatches.

Last week, @yAmethxst, an X user, posted leaked screenshots of new icons coming to PlayStation. The leak was also confirmed legit by Dealabs. Though some are less interesting (like a touchpad button), a couple of the new icons are hinting at a Cross-Buy function coming to the platform.

Based solely on the name, Cross-Buy doesn’t offer much. However, a complementary icon, which shows the PS5 logo and a PC logo side by side, confirms how Sony wants this to work. Cross-Buy will likely allow players to purchase two copies of the same game: one for the PlayStation and another for their PC.

There are a few gaps and questions to be answered, though. For one, which games are compatible with this feature? Is it exclusive to PlayStation’s first-party games, or are third-party games included?

Secondly, which platform on PC will the feature support? The likeliest suspect is Steam, but how about users who prefer the Epic Games Store or GOG?

There are so many mysteries about this feature. Heck, we don’t even know if this will actually work as we described. If anything, this is a welcome feature in the world of cross-platform gaming.

Grand Theft Auto VI delayed to November 2026

Back in September, Hollow Knight: Silksong finally launched, ending an almost seven-year wait. Now, the next holy grail of gaming that’s set to launch is Grand Theft Auto VI. However, the wait is now a tiny bit longer. Rockstar Games has delayed the launch of its upcoming game to November 2026.

It’s been over 12 years since the launch of Grand Theft Auto V. In that time, the title has gone through three generations of the Xbox and the PlayStation. It even has an enhanced edition already. That said, the highly anticipated sixth outing is a long time coming.

In the tail end of 2023, Rockstar Games released the first trailer for the anticipated sequel, teasing a launch in 2025. Further reports pinpointed a fall 2025 window. Since then, the studio delayed the game to May 2026 for extra polishing.

Today, Rockstar Games has announced another delay. This time, Grand Theft Auto VI will launch on November 19, 2026. The studio is once again citing the need to polish the final product a bit more.

Besides the game itself, there is a lot riding on its launch. For one, other game developers are notorious for patterning their games’ release windows away from Grand Theft Auto VI (or other major games). They naturally don’t want their games to be the one known for being overshadowed by Rockstar’s surefire hit.

Secondly, publishers are patiently waiting for how much the game will go for. There’s speculation that the title might push the boundaries of videogame pricing. If the game is a hit while going for 90 to 100 bucks, then other publishers might follow suit.
