NBA 2K21 Demo Now Available

It's been a strange year in many ways, but at least basketball is back. For those who mark time by the changing of the sporting seasons, the demo for NBA 2K21 is now live on PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. It clocks in at about 30 GB and is not currently available on PC or Stadia.

The demo lets you play a match between the Bucks and Clippers, or the All-Time Lakers vs Celtics. You can also try the MyPlayer Builder customizations to make your perfect baller.

2K Games recently outlined big gameplay changes for this year's edition of its basketball game. Those include more casual settings for those who want a less simulation-style experience, changes to the shooting mechanics, bigger point guards, and new signature moves for notable players like Russell Westbrook and LeBron James.

In addition to all the current-gen consoles and PC, 2K21 will also be coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X. 2K Games caused a stir by announcing those versions will be $70, marking a $10 increase over the standardized current price point. Other publishers largely haven't announced whether they'll be following suit with a price increase of their own, but there's reason to believe $70 could be the new normal.
