Let’s be honest - remote play isn’t really official for all of us ready to ball out on our favorite next generation games on either the iPhone or Android. So 2K hitting the green light on releasing its NBA 2K Mobile for its fifth season comes through clutch.

The wait’s over for NBA 2K Mobile Season 5

Whether you love the Boston Celtics or cringe when their signature green hits your eyes, there’s no denying how much of a beast star player Jayson Tatum is for the squad. Seeing him grace the Season 5 artwork? Pretty spectacular - and this is coming from a hardcore Brooklyn Nets previously New Jersey Nets fanatic.

2K today announced Season 5 of NBA® 2K Mobile, one of 2K’s flagship mobile titles with more than 41 million downloads* to date. Season 5 delivers a number of new features and modes, including new card tiers, all-new Tourneys mode, completely refreshed UI, and the ability for players to keep their cards from season to season. 

Players can experience authentic, console-quality NBA gameplay in Season 5, with exciting updates including: 

• Collect basketball cards of NBA superstars and teams from the 2022-23 NBA season and NBA Legends and compete in limited-time events for basketball cards and rewards;

• All-new Tourneys mode as a whole new way for players to test their skills against specific opponents in a 7-game championship mode;

• New Blacktop court for CREWS mode, lets players customize their MyPLAYER before heading out to play 3-on-3 freestyle basketball;

• New Mentoring system adds a level of depth to roster management. Players will now be able to create Mentors that give significant boosts when attached to a MyTEAM player card;

• A complete visual redesign of the UI improves the overall experience for players. Additionally, FPS will be 120Hz for the latest devices that can support it.

To play, download the free NBA 2K Mobile app for Apple devices with 4+ GB of RAM and iOS 11.0 or later or on Google devices with Android 8+ (Android 9.0 recommended). An Internet connection is required. NBA 2K Mobile’s live 2K action requires newer hardware. App includes optional in-game purchases.

Activate those gaming goals and lose track of your next generation device for a few hours - because the crisp feel and overall gameplay from your handy device is way more luxurious on the go than hoping your system’s Wi-Fi goes uninterrupted.
