The start of the 2022-23 NBA season will coincide with the release of NBA 2K23 Arcade Edition on Tuesday. The game has updated rosters, a new "The greatest" mode, and more.

20 of the greatest NBA players from the past and present are included in the mode. The 2K23 edition of the game has in-game commentary from Kevin Harlan, Brian Anderson, Greg Anthony and Grant Hill.

The NBA 2K22 edition of the game has an association mode that tasks players with managing an NBA roster by making trades, signing free agents, scouting up-and-coming prospects, and controlling their team's finances. There are online modes as well.

Apple Arcade is accessible through the app store. The service is available in the US for either $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year. There are no in-app purchases on Apple Arcade.
