NBA 2K23 Championship Edition is being described as an “ultra-premium” package that will include a full year’s subscription to NBA League Pass which will let you watch over 1000 out-of-market games throughout the season. No word on what either NBA 2K23 premium package will cost, but NBA League Pass isn’t cheap (it’s around $200 a year) so expect the Championship Edition to cost a pretty penny.
With Michael Jordan back on the cover, NBA 2K23 will also mark the return of The Jordan Challenge mode, which will allow you to play through key highlights from his career… It isn’t currently clear if The Jordan Challenge will be exclusive to the NBA 2K23 Michael Jordan and Championship Editions, or if standard edition owners will also get to play. The Jordan Challenge also elevates an array of spellbinding performances across Jordan’s college, NBA, and Team USA Basketball careers that players can experience across all 15 Challenges and includes unique video vignettes that come with special commentary from an array of NBA luminaries: Jordan’s teammates, opponents, and other sports personalities, who saw him do it live and can bring to life his legacy to a younger generation of NBA fans. NBA 2K23 launches on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and Switch on September 9. As usual, 2K Games will be charging a $10 premium for the “next-gen” versions. More pre-order and pricing details, as well as the standard edition cover athlete, will be revealed this Thursday (July 7).
