2K Sports has prepared a launch trailer of sorts for NBA 2K18, which is out today on Switch. Have a look at the video below.

The file size situation surrounding NBA 2K18 on Switch has been a bit confusing. The Japanese Switch eShop initially listed the game for 6.8GB, but was later changed to 22.9GB.

Nintendo’s support site fully explains the situation. Here’s the full breakdown of storage requirements:

Tons of footage has arrived showing off the newly-released NBA 2K18 on Switch. Over two hours of footage can be found below.

We finally have direct-feed gameplay from NBA 2K18 on Switch now that the game has launched. You can see over 20 minutes of footage below.

We’re starting to get more extensive looks at NBA 2K18 on Switch since the game has launched in certain regions. Get a look at five minutes of footage in portable mode below.

Update (9/14): NBA 2K18’s file size has updated on the Switch eShop. It’s now showing 22.9GB. That makes much more sense, and is in line with a rough estimate provided by the developers previously.


Original (9/13): With just a few days to go before launch, NBA 2K18 has been given a listing on the Japanese Switch eShop. We have the game’s file size as a result.

The base download for NBA 2K18 seems to be 6.8GB. However, the listing says that you need more than 6GB of additional storage space. Players are advised to prepare a microSD card (recommend more than 32GB) when you buying the game.

Even with this information, it would be a smaller download than we would have expected for NBA 2K18. We’ll let you know if we receive any further news about NBA 2K18’s storage on Switch.

2K Sports was forced to change the cover for NBA 2K18 following the trade of Kyrie Irving from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Boston Celtics. Above, we have the new packaging shot, as posted on the official Twitter account.

This new cover of NBA 2K18 will be released at “a later date.” We’ll keep you posted on the situation going forward.

One of the features NBA 2K18 has added in recent years is face simulation technology. By using a mobile app, players can bring their visual appearance into the game.

Switch owners will have access to the functionality… just not at launch. 2K wrote on its official forums that the feature will be patched in “through subsequent updates”. A specific date was not mentioned.
