According to NBA 2K’s executive producer, Erick Boenisch, PlayStation Plus subscribers will get free monthly promo packs for NBA 2K21, which is currently scheduled to be released on September 4. The monthly packs will contain things like players for the game’s MyTeam mode and will be available for players to open every month for the next 10 months.

“So, what’s in these Promo Packs? Every pack will grant you an NBA player to add to your team,” said Erick Boenisch on the PlayStation Blog. “Beyond that, there will be rare pulls in these packs that will be some of the best cards in the game at launch! One that I have been playing with and loving recently is Diamond DeMarcus Cousins.”

He also clarified that there won’t be any paid component for their new battle pass format called seasons, which will be free for everyone: “Let’s clarify one thing at the top: seasons are free for everyone, there is no paid component to it.”

Speaking of MyTeam, 2K recently revealed that your current-gen progress will carry over to the next-gen version, so players won’t lose any of their VC, cards, or tokens if they decide to upgrade to the PS5/Xbox Series X version.

Also, 2K provided more details regarding NBA 2K21’s MyTeam mode, which can be seen below.

  • Badge Customization and Customizable Evolutions. Badge cards return, allowing you to add and upgrade Badges from Bronze to Hall of Fame. Evolution cards now branch, giving players an opportunity to make new decisions that make their players unique.
