Overview
- The open beta will run for eight hours on Saturday, May 30, from 10:00 a.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. ET to 6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET and requires no access codes.
- Play by Play Studios has enabled cross-play between PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) so players on all three platforms can match together during the test.
- Beta players can try two core modes—Knockout Squads, where you control one player, and Knockout Solos, where you control a full three-player team—and early expression mechanics like advanced dunks, taunts, crossovers, Shammgods, and Slip 'N Slides.
- The test includes a curated set of NBA stars such as Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jalen Brunson, Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Luka Dončić, Kevin Durant, Ja Morant and Victor Wembanyama and one street legend available at launch.
- The full game is confirmed to launch on June 9 with Standard ($29.99) and Deluxe ($39.99) editions, a four-round Run the World tournament format, 30+ NBA players at release, five fictional streetball legends and gameplay powered by rollback netcode.
