The gap ends this year, introducing PC users to numerous technical and gameplay-related additions.

Although the system requirements have dramatically increased, the game remains playable on Steam Deck.

Aside from visuals, ProPLAY was the main feature that last year’s PC version missed out on.

The technology uses footage from real-life matches to improve in-game animation quality significantly.

The PC and current-generation console versions also receive enhancements to these modes and a new environment to explore.

The only downside for PC is that crossplay remains exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series.

The title’s minimum requirements land close to 2K24’s recommended specs.

It supports old 4 GB graphics cards like the GeForce GTX 960 and the Radeon RX 570.

Furthermore, 2K optimized the game to run on Steam Deck and other PC-based handhelds.

The game’s only notable technical burdens are its 150 GB storage footprint and SSD requirement.

Most games strongly recommend an SSD nowadays, but 2K indicates that NBA 2K25 isn’t playable on HDDs.

This year’s cover art is another first.
