The official NBA 2K17 release date is September 20th, but only for those that don’t want to place a pre-order. Every one that does decide to pre-order gets their copy of the game on September 16th, the Friday before the game’s official release.
The logic in moving forward this year could relate to a desire to better capitalize on the Olympics which comes to a close Aug. 21. George is seen in a Team USA jersey on the cover of the game which could be an indication the Olympics will play some sort of role in the product.
So now there are three different versions of NBA 2K17 to choose for you guys:
$60 Standard Edition
Pre-order incentive includes 5,000 Virtual Currency (which has a value of $2) and a MyTeam bundle with three packs and guaranteed Paul George “Free Agent” card.
