NBA 2K23 has been removed from digital storefronts by 2K, following their announcement in September. This aligns with their practice of shutting down game servers a few years after release. NBA 2K23 was initially launched on September 9th, 2022.
If you search for NBA 2K23 on platforms like the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Steam, and the Nintendo eShop, you’ll find varying results. The game is no longer listed on the Xbox Store, PlayStation Store, and Steam, while on the Nintendo eShop, it can only be wishlisted. However, physical copies of NBA 2K23 are still available through different retailers.
On December 31st, the servers for NBA 2K23 will be taken offline. According to 2K, this means that multiplayer games and online game modes will no longer be accessible. MyCAREER and MyTEAM features will be disabled, and earning Virtual Currency (VC) will no longer be possible. While Play Now, MyNBA, The W, and MyWNBA modes can still be enjoyed, any features requiring a connection to 2K servers will be unavailable, including multiplayer, Online Leagues, and community sharing.
