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.

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.

The Blood of Dawnwalker

Rebel Wolves and Bandai Namco Entertainment have revealed a fresh wave of details for The Blood of Dawnwalker, confirming its release on September 3, 2026.

The upcoming dark fantasy open-world action RPG is headed to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, with pre-orders now live across digital storefronts and retail. The announcement came alongside the game’s “Road to Launch” event, which packed in new gameplay footage, story reveals, and system requirements.

Story, gameplay, and a deeper look at Vale Sangora

A new story trailer introduces key characters surrounding protagonist Coen, a Dawnwalker caught between humanity and vampirism. Set in the fictional Vale Sangora in the Carpathian Mountains, the game leans heavily into choice-driven storytelling, where allies, enemies, and outcomes shift depending on player decisions.

Rebel Wolves also showcased over 10 minutes of gameplay captured from a recent PC build. The footage highlights narrative-driven exploration, where uncovering secrets and completing activities can unlock abilities or alter how events unfold. The core idea is simple: every action carries consequences, shaping both the story and the state of the world.

Developers including Piotr Kucharski, Daria Bury-Zawada, Maciej Wiśniewski, and Dorota Rutkowska also broke down key systems and design philosophies in a new dev diary.

Motion capture, editions, and system requirements revealed

A behind-the-scenes segment featured former UFC champion Jan Błachowicz, who contributed motion capture work for Bakir, one of the game’s antagonists. His involvement adds a layer of realism to combat, with a focus on weight and impact in every strike.

Rebel Wolves also detailed multiple editions of the game. Alongside the standard digital version and retail Day One Edition, players can opt for the Eclipse Edition, which includes bonuses like a world compendium, soundtrack, and comic book. A Collector’s Edition will also be available in limited quantities.

Official PC system requirements were likewise shared during the event, giving players a clearer idea of what hardware they’ll need to run the game.

A dark fantasy journey shaped by choice

Set in 14th-century Europe during a time of war and plague, The Blood of Dawnwalker follows Coen’s struggle against Brencis, a powerful vampire lord ruling over Vale Sangora. As a Dawnwalker, Coen walks a fine line between two worlds, gaining unique abilities while dealing with the cost that comes with them.

Built on Unreal Engine 5, the game emphasizes player agency, blending open-world exploration with branching narrative paths. Whether forming alliances or facing off against enemies, every decision feeds back into how the story unfolds.

The Blood of Dawnwalker launches September 3 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo out now on Switch 2 and Xbox

Free demo now live

Published

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is making its way to more players, and you can jump in right now.

Square Enix has released a free playable demo for the acclaimed RPG on Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox on PC. Better yet, your progress carries over to the full game when it launches on June 3, 2026.

The demo includes Chapters 1 and 2, giving players a substantial slice of the experience right from the start.

A look at the opening chapters

Chapter 1 revisits one of the most pivotal moments in the story — the Nibelheim incident. You take control of a younger Cloud alongside Sephiroth as they investigate a mysterious outbreak of monsters. It’s a story beat longtime fans will recognize, but still hits hard with its modern presentation.

Chapter 2 opens things up. Cloud and the crew step into the Grasslands, where the game starts to flex its scale. Expect a mix of combat encounters, exploration, side activities, and even the in-game card battler Queen’s Blood.

Combat blends real-time action with command-based strategy, now enhanced with Synergy Abilities. The demo also introduces “Streamlined Progression” options like unlimited HP/MP and faster ability unlocks, letting players focus more on the story if they choose.

Pre-orders and physical bonuses

Pre-orders are now open across platforms, with a 20% discount available until June 10, 2026.

Digital editions come with in-game bonuses like Summoning Materia, armor sets, and accessories. Meanwhile, early buyers of the Nintendo Switch 2 physical edition get a little extra — a collectible Magic: The Gathering–Final Fantasy Zack Fair card featuring variant art by Tetsuya Nomura, available while supplies last.

Preparing for the final chapter

Set beyond Midgar, Rebirth follows Cloud and his allies — including Tifa, Barret, Aerith, and Red XIII — as they pursue Sephiroth across a wider world. New companions like Yuffie and Cait Sith join the journey, adding more personality and dynamics to the party.

Already released on PlayStation 5 and PC, the game has racked up over 125 perfect review scores and more than 40 Game of the Year awards. With its arrival on Switch 2 and Xbox, the remake trilogy is now nearly fully playable across modern platforms.

That puts more players in position for what’s next: the third and final installment, which is currently in development.
