NBA 2K26 Update 1.008 Dribbles Out for Patch 2.1 Before Season 2 Starts

While Visual Concepts released the Season 2 data for NBA 2K26 earlier this week, it seems there were a few bugs that needed to be squashed, as the studio has released NBA 2K26 update 1.008 for the basketball sim’s version 2.1 patch.

Today’s patch resolves issues with the shot meter, ball collision issues.

The patch download is out now on consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X|S), and will be released on PC later today and will include the fixes from patch 2.0 and 2.1 rolled into one.

Here are the list of confirmed fixes included in today’s patch (via the NBA 2K Discord);

• Returned ball collision sensitivity on escape dribble moves to pre-Patch 2.0 levels based on community feedback. The improved responsiveness for well-timed, intentional steal attempts remains.
• Updated the shot meter to properly reflect the green window bonuses of the Poster Machine Takeover Ability.
• Resolved a reported hang that could occur when attempting to load a MyCAREER save.
• Fixed a hang following a press conference in the Out of Bounds story.

For those on the fence whether to pick up the game or not, check out our review, where we state, “Sometimes, a game series enters a period where it’s best not to try to reinvent the wheel. While it would have been great to see some new modes or major revamps of some existing ones, NBA 2K26 instead focuses on polishing the existing gameplay and continuing to provide a virtual experience akin to the real on-the-court action on top of the always standout MyCareer and The City.”
