Note that the patch seems to be exclusive to the next-gen version of the game (we checked current-gen), though if that changes, we’ll update the post.

While Visual Concepts has not released the official changelog just yet, we’ve listed the new stuff in the latest patch for current-gen, as Visual Concepts has announced that the features below will be added at a”later date.” Exact wording is: *Update is available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4; will roll out to additional platforms at a later date.

GENERAL:

• 2K Foundation Inspired court at 2K Beach along with new seasonal decorations.
• Updated another set of player likenesses for current NBA players.

MyTEAM:

• Addressed a rare issue with Dark Matter player cards not displaying the player reveal during pack openings
• Addressed an audio issue with Dark Matter card animations
• Addressed a name display issue for some playbook cards
• Additional various preparations for upcoming additions to MyTEAM

Of course, given the big differences between the next-gen and current-gen versions of NBA 2K21, don’t be surprised to see a significant list of changes included in today’s next-gen update for the basketball sim that’s not present in the current-gen versions. That said, once the devs share the changelog, we’ll update the post.

Update: We’ve updated the post with the official patch notes from the studio.
