According to the game’s official Steam page,NBA 2K24will require a whopping 110 GB of free space on the PC version, the same as last year’s title,NBA 2K23. It is not yet known how big the file size will be on consoles, however, several leakers have speculated that the download size of the game will be 160 GB on PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X/S, and around 104 GB for the previous generation consoles. That being said, this information should be taken with a grain of salt until 2K officially confirms it.
This is by all accounts a rather large file size requirement, especially when comparingNBA 2k24with other sports games such asMadden NFL 24which only needs 50 GB, orWWE 2K23which requires 80 GB of space on PC. Nevertheless, as the gaming industry constantly attempts to improve the standard of graphical realism, it is only natural that file sizes will inevitably expand.
2K Sports is also hyping up an entirely new andinnovative feature forNBA 2K24called ProPLAYwhich is meant to drastically increase the game’s graphical fidelity. ProPLAY utilizes modern technology to capture actual NBA footage in order to model player movements, which in turn will make the in-game dribbling animations substantially smoother and add another touch of much-needed realism to the basketball simulator. This feature could understandably be one big reason for the gigantic file size requirements of the title.
NBA 2K24launches September 8 on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
