Here’s what to expect in the next big patch

With the start of the WNBA season and the NBA Playoffs just around the corner, it’s the perfect moment for more content in NBA 2K23 – and that’s exactly what you’ll get in the next patch for 2K’s basketball game. You won’t even have to wait for long.

The NBA 2K23 Season 6 update launches on April 7, 2023, at 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm BST / 5pm CEST.

Luka Dončić, NBA star and occasional Overwatch 2 enjoyer, and Sue Bird, a WNBA veteran with a career stretching two decades behind her, are the athletes headlining this season.

MyCAREER offers new rewards you can earn, such as a jetpack, a medieval armor set, a glider, and a GOAT mascot – lots of swag to enhance your character in The City and on The GOAT Boat.

MyPLAYER will be expanded in Season 6 with the Core Badge Pattern Package 2, which is a reward for reaching level 39. Here’s what’s included in the bundle:

2 Finishing, 1 Shooting, 1 Defense
2 Shooting, 1 Finishing, 1 Defense
2 Playmaking, 1 Finishing, 1 Shooting
2 Defense, 1 Shooting, 1 Playmaking

MyTEAM features the return of Hero cards in Season 6. Shaquille O’Neal will be your level 1 reward claimable in the MyTEAM Season Menu. The card will be Ruby-rated at first, but once you’ve completed its Evolution requirements it’ll morph into a Diamond-rated juggernaut. The level 40 reward of the season is a different kind of beast, a 99 OVR Dark Matter-rated Hakeem Olajuwon.

Level 2 provides you with a Ruby Sue Bird Coach Card, which is only an appetizer for the other WNBA Coach Card additions coming in Season 6: Over 25 new Coach Cards from the women’s league will be added.

The W Online offers a whole wave of additional rewards as well, while 2K Beats once more adds a few fresh songs to the soundtrack:

Premo Rice – Right Wriss, Pt. 2
Trippie Redd & Lil B – SWAG LIKE OHIO, PT. 2
King Louie – Go Get It
ChapD & John G – Iconic (Carhartt)
Angel Mccoughtry – Legend
Jovanie – Stepback
