Tatum, who was chosen as the cover star of NBA 2K25, the 26th game of the iconic series to be published by 2K, will take over the stage from the face of the previous year, Kobe Bryant .

On the other hand, it should be noted that NBA 2K23 is included in the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog. PS4 and PS5 users in the Extra and Deluxe tiers can access the game for free.
