Hello,

I chatted with a Best Buy agent, and she said that NBA 2K22 for Windows would be an one-time direct download. Have to admit, I don't think a major release as a NBA 2K game would be DRM-free. NBA 2K21 for Windows on Best Buy is a Steam code. I just think the product page for 2K22 hasn't been fully updated yet.

So, probably a Steam code?

Thanks,

Hello there, Adam!

Thank you for writing to us about this and bringing it to our attention! We appreciate the feedback. More than likely, NBA 2K22 will be on the Steam platform. It definitely varies game to game, since some can be for redeemed on the Microsoft Store on your PC or Origin for EA. I hope this helps out a little. As we move closer to the release date, feel free to reach out with any questions you have. 

Please let me know if you need anything else!

Best,

Thanks Caleb. NBA 2K isn’t offered on Origin or MS Store but I get your point 👍🏻

I looked all prior 2K releases on Best Buy and they’re all Steam codes. So I’ll keep an eye on it!

For sure! More often than not, it's a Steam code. I remember getting a Forza Horizon game a while back, and that was definitely through the Microsoft Store. Sounds great!! If you have any issues when the time comes, please reach out!

Thanks a bunch,

Hi Caleb,

A lot of Best Buy customers are sitting in the dark still waiting for their 2K22 codes. Can you provide an update on the situation? I posted a thread yesterday but haven’t heard anything from anyone.

Hey, Adam!

Thanks for following up. I see you also sent Caleb a private message about this code concern. I'll be following up through there on his behalf, as he is currently away. Please keep an eye on your inbox for my reply shortly!

Best,
