Encourage 2K25 Players to Boycott NBA 2K26

The Issue

Every year, we find ourselves in the same cycle. The excitement for a new NBA 2K release is palpable, and we, as a community, eagerly purchase the latest version spending hundreds of dollars for the thrill of a few virtual shots. Yet, each year, our progress, our countless late-night sessions, and our meticulously crafted teams all disappear when the servers for the previous year’s game are shut down. It's not just a game; it's a journey that abruptly ends because of a new release.

This year, we're asking all current NBA 2K25 players, on both PC and consoles, to break this cycle. Let’s make a stand by choosing to play 2K25 and skipping 2K26. Our goal is not just to save money, but to send a clear message to 2K games that we value persistence and continuity over new yearly releases that offer minimal improvements.

By sticking with NBA 2K25, we can demonstrate that our community won't be swayed by the allure of minimal upgrades and flashy marketing. We're demanding a product that respects our investment of time and money, something that truly brings new, dynamic content worthy of the price we pay.

Consider the precedent that we'll set for future game releases, not just in the NBA 2K series, but across the gaming industry as a whole. Imagine not being forced to start from scratch every single year, knowing your digital achievements and progress remain intact beyond an annual update. This movement starts with you.

Join us in making history. Choose continuity over hype. Help us build a gaming community where our voices are heard and our investments are respected. Sign this petition and commit to playing NBA 2K25 instead of buying NBA 2K26. Together, we can make a difference. Sign the petition now.
