1. Is it possible to upgrade from the current generation to the next generation for free?
If you purchase the Mamba Forever Edition on current-gen, you will receive a bonus copy of the next-gen Standard Edition.
If you purchase the Mamba Forever Edition on next-gen, you will also receive a bonus copy of the current-gen Standard Edition.
When purchasing the Standard Edition, there is no upgrade program available.

2. Is it possible to upgrade from a PlayStation 4 to a PlayStation XSX or a PlayStation 1 to a PlayStation 5?
No, the update program is only valid for consoles from the same family.

3. When will I get my bonus edition, and how will I get it?
The bonus copy would be added to the same account that was used to make the initial purchase in the case of digital orders.

4. The bonus copy will be a code inside the game box for those who buy the game in physical form. This means that if you pre-order the physical next-gen Mamba Forever Edition, your current-gen Standard Edition copy will not be delivered at launch.

5. Is the PC, Switch, and Stadia going to be current-gen or next-gen consoles?
This year, they will be current-gen.

6. What transfers from current-gen to next-gen and what does not?
Is it true?
VC Wallet that Can Be Shared (earned and purchased)
Progress with NBA 2K21 MT, Tokens, and MyTEAM
Doesn't include:
MyPLAYER is making progress.
MyPLAYER is a program that improves your gaming experience.
Damian Lillard's Digital Collection on MyPLAYER (stays on current-gen)
Zion Williamson's Digital Collection on MyPLAYER (stays on next-gen)

7. What would be the biggest differences between next-gen and current-gen games?
Next-generation is being developed as a separate game from current-generation. Throughout the summer, more details will be published. We recommend taking a look at the NBA 2K14 release cycle for inspiration.

8. Is there going to be cross-platform play?
NBA 2K21 for the current generation and NBA 2K21 for the next generation are two separate games. Backwards compatibility on next-generation consoles allows them to play current-gen games. This necessitates either purchasing the Mamba Forever Edition or purchasing both current-gen and next-gen games separately. To put it another way, the PS4 version cannot be played on the PS5, but the PS5 version can be played on both the PS5 and PS4 versions.

9. Is it possible to play a game from the next generation on a console from the previous generation?
The PS5 and XSX|S are the only consoles that can play the next-generation title.

10.0 Is it possible to play a current-generation game on a next-generation console?
Backwards compatibility allows you to play the current-generation version. It will be the same game that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners enjoy, with the added advantage of modern hardware advantages such as quicker loading times. The City and other next-gen features will not be available.
