2K Sports and Shaquille O’Neal have revealed the release date for NBA 2K18 to be September 19th.
Prior to the game’s launch, you can pre-order the standard edition or Legend Edition. The Legend Edition comes in two flavors: Regular ($99.99) and Gold ($149.99). Here’s what’s included in the regular, Legend Edition:
- Limited Edition Shaq poster
- 5 Panini trading cards
- Exclusive Stickers
- 100,000 Virtual Currency
- 20 Weekly MyTEAM Packs
- Shaq in-game items
- And more
Meanwhile, the Gold Edition includes a little more goodies:
- Limited Edition Shaq poster

If you pre-order either Legend Edition at supporting retailers, you can get the game four days early.
It’s worth noting that the Switch version of NBA 2K18 will launch alongside every other version. This means you won’t have to wait, while your friends are hooping it up on their consoles, to enjoy the game. It also means you can play 2K18 on the basketball court just like in the Switch pre-release videos.
