Some additional recommendations include having an SSD for the best performance, and a dual-analog gamepad for the best gameplay experience. While neither of these are mandatory, you’ll have a better time with NBA 2K25 if you have them.

The additional notes on both Steam and 2K’s website state that your processor should be able to support AVX2. Meanwhile, your GPU should be capable of running DirectX 12. Most modern CPUs and graphics cards should support both of these, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

If you want to try out the different multiplayer modes in NBA 2K25 on PC, you’ll need a constant and stable Internet connection. While most New Gen features have been made available on PC, you won’t be able to access crossplay with users on other platforms. It should also be noted that if you’re accessing the game through Steam Family Sharing, you’ll only be restricted to the single-player features.
