About NBA 2K
NBA 2K is Visual Concepts' yearly NBA and WNBA simulation, published by 2K, a Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ: TTWO) label, with NBA 2K27 shipping September 4 2026 as the 28th installment after NBA 2K26. Wikipedia, citing Gematsu on July 22 2026, lists PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Windows, and Nintendo Switch 2, with no last-generation SKU.
2K's July 22 2026 cover reveal named Victor Wembanyama for Standard, Caitlin Clark for Deluxe, and Derrick Rose for Ultra. The gameplay trailer followed July 28. 2K's overview sets Deluxe and Ultra early access at 9:00 a.m. PT on August 26 2026 (12:00 p.m. EDT). People search nba 2k here for covers, editions, and the NBA 2K HQ app, which 2K told players to download starting August 21. A Fortnite topic page is the other live-service game curve on this site.
What the time series shows
The 261-week Google Search series for nba 2k spikes around each September ship date, then holds a 30-to-60 floor through the NBA season until 2026 pulled the window peak to 100 on August 22 after 67 on July 25. Last year's late-August equivalent was 45 on August 23 2025, then 92 on September 6. Earlier September marks were 67, 71, 83, and 62 in 2024 through 2021.
Four labels are derived from that series. growth_label is regular because 30-day change is +49.25% and 90-day change is +75.44%, and the latest value is the peak. speed_label is exponential because the latest 30-day absolute move (100 minus 67 equals 33) is more than twice the prior 30-day move (67 minus 65 equals 2). seasonality_label is high on yearly launch peaks, now dated to August 26 early access. volatility_label is low; last-52 week-over-week sample standard deviation is 20.98%. The 7-day jump from 51 to 100 is the early-access week.
