Play NBA 2K27 on your phone

We're right into the height of the NBA season, and sometimes you just aren't around a console for NBA 2K27. Even with the wealth of handhelds available, you can't always bring one along. One thing you do always have: your phone. Thankfully, 2K Games has you covered, as the game now has an Apple Arcade Edition. Take a look at the details below, alongside our bookmarked review.

Today, 2K announced that NBA 2K27 Arcade Edition, the latest Apple Arcade installment in the NBA 2K franchise, is now available for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV exclusively on Apple Arcade — Apple’s game subscription service that offers unlimited access to a collection of more than 200 games with no ads, no in-app purchases.

NBA 2K27 Arcade Edition puts players on the court with the top NBA and WNBA talent. Players can create their MyPLAYER build, join their favorite team, and experience the journey from rookie to NBA legend in MyCAREER. NBA 2K27 Arcade Edition supports players taking charge of a franchise, revisiting iconic NBA dynasties, or competing against friends across a range of game modes.

Discover new features and returning modes to NBA 2K27 Arcade Edition, including:

The WNBA Makes Its Debut: All 15 WNBA teams and 180 active WNBA players join the game, bringing the league’s brightest stars to Quick Match and Blacktop. Players can compete in 5v5 matchups with their favorite WNBA team or challenge a friend in 1v1, 3v3, or 5v5 street basketball.
Progress Faster in MyCAREER: MyPLAYERs begin their rookie season at 80 OVR, allowing them to make an immediate impact on the court. Players experience the season’s most pivotal moments through 12 strategic matchups as they work to lead their team to the NBA Playoffs.
Explore an Expanded Neighborhood: The new Center Terminal gives players access to events, quests, and seasonal content. Players can train their MyPLAYER at the Gym to unlock temporary buffs—boosting stats like speed, acceleration, vertical, strength, and stamina for a week—and personalize their look at the Barbershop and Tattoo Studio.
Find Your Game: In The Association, players become the GM and Head Coach of their favorite NBA franchise, managing trades, free agents, scouting, and team finances. NBA Eras lets players guide iconic dynasties, from the iconic ‘90s Chicago Bulls to today’s Golden State Warriors. Players can also take their MyPLAYER online in Multiplayer Mode or hit the court in NBA Quick Match and Blacktop.
