If you've already pre-ordered NBA 2K22 or are considering doing so, there are a few things you should do before the game's release later this year. NBA 2K22 will be released on September 10th on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Nintendo Switch, according to 2K. Several different editions of NBA 2K22 are currently available for purchase from a variety of retailers. These include the NBA 2K22 standard edition, NBA 2K22 NBA 75th Anniversary Edition, Cross-Gen Digital Bundle, and the NBA 2K22 WNBA 25th Anniversary Edition.

With pre-orders now open and the NBA 2K22 release date drawing closer, there are a few things that prospective buyers should do before the game hits store shelves. We'll walk you through them in this NBA 2K22 release guide.

Decide whether or not you want to pre-order NBA 2K22
While you may be tempted to purchase a copy of MT NBA 2K22 right away, there are several compelling reasons to hold off on making the purchase.

Purchase the Proper NBA 2K22 Edition
If you do decide to purchase NBA 2K22 before its scheduled release in September, make sure to choose the edition that best suits your interests and financial constraints.

Once again, there are several versions of the game, each with their own set of differences that you should be aware of. The standard edition is the most affordable option, but it includes the least amount of additional content, whereas the NBA 2K22 NBA 75th Anniversary Edition includes more bonuses but is slightly more expensive.

Keep track of your order
If you have ordered a copy of NBA 2K22, make sure to keep an eye on your order as we get closer to the release date. This will assist you in avoiding potential headaches.

You'll want to make certain that your delivery information is up to date. If you have recently relocated to a new residence, it is possible that your shipping address has not been updated.

You'll also want to double-check that all of your payment information is accurate so that you don't run into any problems when the retailer charges your credit card.

Purchase an external hard drive. If You Require One NBA 2K22 will most likely require a significant amount of storage space on your console or Windows PC.

If you typically have a lot of free space on your internal storage, you should be fine. However, if you're using an older console with a limited amount of storage space and you don't like deleting files to make room for new games, you might want to consider purchasing an external hard drive.

Look for NBA 2K22 Deals
Those looking to save money on NBA 2K22 should keep an eye out for special offers as the release date approaches.

It's still early, but we'll probably see a few retailers knock $5-10 off the price ahead of launch, so make sure you shop around before placing your order.

Consider Investing in a New Console
If you still have an original Xbox One or PlayStation 4, and you have a 4K television, you should consider upgrading to an Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5. They're still hard to come by, but the supply should improve in the coming weeks. NBA 2K22 will run and look its best on current-generation consoles and PCs.

If you don't want to deal with the hassle of tracking down one of these systems, you should consider purchasing an Xbox One X or a PlayStation 4 Pro instead. These are still excellent consoles, and they are now considerably less expensive than they were previously.

If you purchase the NBA 2K22 Cross-Gen Digital Bundle, you'll receive the game for either the PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 or the Xbox One or Xbox Series X. If you have your heart set on purchasing a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X in 2021, this is a route you should consider.

Download the NBA 2K22 Demo here
Unless 2K changes its mind, you can expect the company to release an NBA 2K22 demo ahead of the game's official release date in September.

A free demo will be made available to you, and it will give you the opportunity to play a portion of the game early. Those of you who are on the fence about pre-ordering should take advantage of this opportunity because it may help you decide whether or not the full game is worth the price of admission.

NBA 2K22 is ready to be played
If you purchase the correct version of NBA 2K22 and live in a time zone that is in the western time zone, you will be able to begin playing the game on September 9th.

If you pre-order a digital copy of NBA 2K22, you will most likely be able to pre-load the game and begin playing when the clock strikes Midnight Eastern on September 10th. If you live in California, that means you'll be able to begin playing at 9 p. m. on September 9th.

We haven't heard of any midnight launch events this year, so if you pre-order a physical copy of the game, you'll be able to start playing the game in the morning, afternoon, or evening of September 10th.
