Developers Visual Concepts have released two new patches today, which are available to download right now.
The latest NBA 2K21 update is a joint effort, meaning the development team has patched the game across all platforms, including NBA 2K21 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Google Stadia, PC and Nintendo Switch.
The current-gen patch features updates in preparation for the MyTEAM Unlimited $250,000 Tournament on February 20, new seasonal decorations at 2K Beach to celebrate Lunar New Year, and the arrival of the travelling Big Top 2K Beach, and a variety of gameplay improvements.
Meanwhile, the next-gen patch adds all new music to the soundtrack, updated player likenesses for several current NBA players and more.
NBA 2K21 update 1.08 might have different numbering and install sizes, depending on what platform you’re using.
It should also be noted that due to how NBA 2K is patched, there might also be a delay for gamers playing on PC, Google Stadia and Nintendo Switch.
It’s unclear how long gamers on these platforms will have to wait for the latest update for NBA 2K21 to arrive.
