Crossplay is a great feature that allows you to jump into the game with friends who may not own the same specific platform. Not only that, but you also get to engage in competitive battle with a larger number of players, by not being confined to just a single platform’s player base. With crossplay, another feature that you get to use is cross-gen progressions

The MyTeam game mode will feature cross-gen progression. In MyTeam, all your points, as well as any progress you have made within the mode, will carry ahead to the next generation in the same console family. This also included any VC you earn or purchase in the game.

If you play on the PlayStation 4, you will be able to carry forward your save files to the PlayStation 5, and similarly with the Xbox consoles. You cannot, however, carry forward your progress across different platforms. Let us now look at how to turn on crossplay in NBA 2K26
