Simple, buy the 99 Kobe version, get next gen version for 49 automatically.

both games cost 49........all of this means DO NOT Buy current version only or next gen version only

GET KOBE Version, it offer BOTH current and next gen Versions for wayyy less

People need to stop buying that shit. Last 2k I got was 2k11. 2k Sports used to be a great studio, but they got lazy after having no competition in the basketball sim market, like EA with Madden and got greedy.

What's soo anti consumer? They want people to buy KOBE Edition

which makes both versions 49.99, only people getting screwed here are

1.Those that will only get Next Gen version

why would you do that?, when they are offering Current Gen version + next Gen upgrade for 49...

No one smart will get "Standard" Editions on either current or next gen consoles

The Deal is KOBE's version, which at 99 will get you Current Gen 2k + Next Gen 2K...

how much is 100 divided by 2?......yaaaa 50

It's a travesty that a game cost much and still is filled to the brim with microtransations. And then they'll do it again the following year.

You shouldn't have to pay extra for the next-gen version to begin with.

Nearly every other company is offering a free upgrade to the next-gen version for their current games....WITHOUT you having to buy a $100 edition of the game.

So sad to see where NBA 2K is these days. Used to be a good series. Making a full priced game P2W with microtransactions on top should be illegal.

imo, the microtransactions in 2K are so much worse than what Madden and FIFA do.

So this is basically for people who know for a fact that they will be repurchasing this game in less than a year

That just seems weird to me, I never plan ahead to be buying the same game twice, it's something I do rarely and begrudgingly

He's saying the base game should automatically get you the upgrade, which would be consistent with what a lot of games are doing

I... don't see the problem.

Is every other PS4 game these days getting upgraded to a PS5 game for free or something?

The $70 release I understand but not this cross-gen upgrade thing. Why would you want to play it on both generations anyway?

A lot of devs are doing this with Xbox at least
https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/06/15/what-is-smart-delivery-xbox-series-x/

But I would say that EA, for comparison, is only allowing Madden players who buy the Xbox One version to upgrade for free if they purchase the game before Christmas, I think.

If it does then Sony/Microsoft are going to have to stop selling games in Canada at a price point that's basically the conversion rate.

$69.99 USD would be roughly a $94.99 price point in Canada. Factor in taxes and you're looking at roughly $105-$110 across most of the country for a new game. They'd kill the market up here.

CyberPunk will just get Next Gen patched, Tony Hawk also...

Madden, Destiny also.....

that's why they get "FREE" upgrades

2K here have made 2K21ground up for next gen, so no free upgrade

you're paying 49 for it if you buy the Kobe edition, or go dumb pay 69 for standard next gen only

That real footage intro makes me wonder if anyone has ever tried making a game, putting in live-action cutscenes and making the trailer entirely out of cutscene footage to trick people into thinking it just has outstanding lifelike graphics.

Ps5 has no policy. The only game getting an upgrade on ps5 for free* is gta5 and free free cyberpunk on both consoles

*if you have a ps+ sub thr first 3 months of launch ps5. Unclear if you also need the ps5 to redeem.

Microsoft first parties will and everyone else has the option to, but may or may not.
