2K to Delist WWE 2K Battlegrounds and NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 This Month With Servers Shutting July 9

Owners retain access to downloads and offline play until online features stop on the shutdown date.

Overview

  • 2K has updated the games’ digital store pages to confirm end-of-sale this month and an online server shutdown on July 9, 2026.
  • Reporting differs on the delist timing, with VGC citing February 26 while Nintendo-focused outlets list February 20.
  • Players who already own the titles will still be able to play and redownload them after delisting until the online services go offline.
  • 2K states that all functions requiring servers will cease on July 9, and outlets note that server-validated unlocks and purchases may no longer work.
  • The affected games are arcade-style spin-offs—NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 from 2018 and WWE 2K Battlegrounds from 2020—sold across major digital storefronts.
