What time does NBA 2K25 release?

All the pre-game hype is almost over, as the eagerly anticipated NBA 2K25 steps onto the hardwood Sept. 6. Players who pre-ordered can take advantage of Early Tipoff, giving them the game on Sept.4. Here's all the info about when you can shoot it from way downtown in your area:

• 8 AM Eastern Standard Time
• 7 AM Central Standard Time
• 6 AM Mountain Standard Time
• 5 AM Pacific Standard Time

NBA 2K25 has three different versions, Standard ($69.99) All-Star($99.99), and Hall of Fame. The All-Star Edition contains:

• 100,000 VC MyCAREER Content 150x Skill Boosts (25 Games)
• 75x Gatorade Boosts (25 Games)
• Jayson Tatum Cover Jersey
• Jayson Tatum Electric Skateboard Skin 2K25
• Cover Stars Design T-Shirt
• MyTEAM Promo Box
• 10 MyTEAM Player Cards (3 guaranteed to be 89 OVR)
• 3 Diamond Shoe Cards
• 3 Takeover Boosts
• 1 Amethyst Coach Card

The Hall of Fame Edition contains all the aforementioned content, a 12-month subscription to NBA League Pass, and a Season 1 Pro Pass with Automatic Pro Pass Rewards. The League Pass purchased separately is $149, so as I mentioned earlier, this is a great deal.

Now if you don't want the League Pass, and don't care about MyTEAM as a mode, the Standard Edition is going to work just fine for you. NBA 2K25 will contain more than 9,000 new animations and a completely revamped MyGM Mode.

If you do care about MyTEAM, you'll be happy to know that the Auction House is making its triumphant return. NBA 2K24 sapped a lot of players love for the game and the franchise. 2K seems to know they need a lot of work to get people back, and it seems like they're doing it. We'll find out more starting Sept. 4.
