Is NBA 2K26 cross-platform?
NBA 2K26 crossplay
Partly NBA 2K26 supports crossplay between PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch are separate.
Only PS5 and Xbox Series X|S have crossplay, and it covers every online mode, including co-op and online tournaments. PC (Steam), Switch, Switch 2, PS4 and Xbox One only play with the same platform.
To team up, open the Social menu in-game (L1+R1 on PlayStation, LB+RB on Xbox) and add friends by their 2K username.
