In the middle of last month, the App Store Apple Arcade tab updated to reveal 2K’s NBA 2K22 Arcade Edition (). NBA 2K22 Arcade Edition was a surprise for me because I figured NBA 2K21 Arcade Edition would just be updated with new content. NBA 2K22 Arcade Edition is a separate release for Apple Arcade and it features the updated 2022 NBA rosters, online multiplayer mode, MyCareer, MyCourt, and a lot more. It even has exclusive Apple Arcade modes like Association Mode and MyCOURT. When NBA 2K22 Arcade Edition was revealed on the App Store, it had an October 19th release date listed. I speculated that this might not be the final date because it isn’t a Friday but 2K just confirmed that it will launch on that day. Watch the NBA 2K22 Arcade Edition first gameplay trailer below:

The Association Mode in NBA 2K22 Arcade Edition lets you be the GM or head coach and build your own dream team. MyCOURT lets you level up stats with drills on custom courts while Blacktop mode has 3v3 street basketball.
