At the end of a weeklong reveal campaign that has seen three NBA 2K23 cover variants, 2K Games reveals one more NBA star will grace the cover of its game and will serve as the primary cover art for NBA 2K23 Standard and Digital Editions.
Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker has been picked for the Standard and Digital Edition covers. Each cover will have different covers of Booker. The dynamic Suns guard is front and center showing off one of the more impressive NBA 2K covers ever released. With the Phoenix desert in the background, Booker's action shot has him rising for a dunk with flames behind him evoking the legendary phoenix imagery.
After his cover was officially revealed, Booker tweeted that 2K told him it was one of its harder photo shoots for a cover athlete. This is the first year that live shots for 2K covers have been used. NBA 2K posted a video of the shoot on its YouTube channel after the reveal. With the announcement of the Standard and Digital Edition covers, pre-orders for NBA 2K23 have gone live. Fans that pre-order from now through the release date will get 5,000 Virtual Currency, 5,000 MyTEAM Points, 10 MyTEAM Promo Packs (delivered once a week), A Boost for each MyCareer Skill type, A Boost for each Gatorade Boost type, Devin Booker MyPLAYER Jersey, and a 95 Rated Devin Booker MyTEAM Free Agent Card. The GameStop exclusive WNBA Edition will have the additional bonus content of a Sue Bird and a Diana Taurasi Jersey to wear in The W and MyCareer.
With all the choices now laid out for fans, they will have to decide if they want to pre-order and which version they want. Only residents of the United States will be able to get the WNBA Edition from GameStop. At $99.99 and $149.99, the editions have major add-ons for the die-hard 2K fan that wants to start building that City rep from Day One. The NBA 2K23 Championship Edition is a tempting offer for that 12-month subscription to NBA League Pass. Even though the standalone NBA League Pass has a price tag of $49.99, fans could use this opportunity to one-stop-shot all their basketball fan needs in one bundle.
This will mark the end of the NBA 2K23 cover athlete reveals, 2K Games teased more news on the way. An image shared by notable 2K leaker 2KIntel on Twitter shows a roadmap of upcoming showcases for different areas of NBA 2K23. The first will be the gameplay reveal trailer, NBA 2K My Team improvements, and will end in showcasing this year's MyCareer and The City features.
NBA 2K23 releases on September 9, 2022, with pre-orders now available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
