2K Sports and Saber Interactive has shared a short trailer to highlight today’s launch of NBA 2K Playgrounds 2. Watch it below.

Saber Interactive essentially released NBA Playgrounds itself last year. But this year, the company teamed up with 2K for NBA 2K Playgrounds 2. It’s more than just a slight rebrand and publishing deal, as 2K actually provided assistance to improve the game.

After noticing that NBA Playgrounds sold one million copies, 2K wanted to get involved. Saber CEO Matthew Karch told Polygon that Saber already “had a solid game”, but 2K gave “very substantial” contributions to the project. Karch estimates that “20 percent of the improvements to the game have taken place over the last four to five months of development with those guys.”

2K announced today that NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 will be available starting October 26. The game is due out physically and digitally starting October 16.

Below are the latest details and trailer:

NBA Playgrounds is only available digitally on Switch. Its sequel, however, will also be sold physically. A listing on GameStop shows that 2K will offer NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 at retail.

NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 is due out sometime this fall. Saber Interactive self-published the first title, though 2K is stepping in for the new game.

NBA 2K19’s primary release is scheduled for next week. But if you purchase the 20th Anniversary Edition, you can begin playing now.

Naturally, footage has already started to be posted online. You can get a look at quite a bit of gameplay in the videos below.

The Switch eShop page for NBA 2K19 is live in a few regions, including Europe, Australia, and Japan. With it, we now have the game’s file size.

NBA 2K19 takes up a whopping 31.5GB of space. Additionally, the listing mentions needing 5GB of space within Switch’s internal memory.

A trailer for NBA 2K19 is in showing off The Neighborhood, a returning feature with a new design and new places to explore. See it below.

2K currently has a couple of games on Switch. Within the past year, NBA 2K18 and WWE 2K18 launched on the console.

In an interview with GamesIndustry, 2K president David Ismailer said that the company is “really happy” with the performance of both titles. He told the site:
