Earlier this year, NBA 2K20 received a new demo on Switch. Get a look at what it has to offer in the gameplay video below.

A few different big sports franchises exist these days, but some aren’t available on Switch while others are present on the platform with missing features. Meanwhile, the NBA 2K series has been going strong for a few years now with all elements fully in tact.

In an interview with USgamer, NBA 2K senior producer Rick Boenisch spoke about supporting Switch. He told the site that the team is always looking to improve on the console, and remains committed to the platform. Boenisch further added: “The flexibility can’t be matched with that console.”

2K Sports has followed through on its previous announcement regarding NBA 2K20’s demo. The download is now live on the eShop.

All three versions of NBA 2K20 are also now up for pre-load – the standard version, Digital Deluxe, and Legend Edition. You’ll need 7.0GB of space to download the title, but based on previous versions, there will likely be a separate in-game download (and it’ll probably be very big).

NBA 2K20 is due out for Switch on September 6.
