Accompanying the announcement of Michael Jordan’s return as Cover Athlete for two editions of NBA 2K23 earlier this week, 2K has also revealed that the Phoenix Suns’ Devin Brooker will be featured on the standard edition of the game, as well the cross-gen Digital Deluxe edition.
Brooker is a three-time NBA All-Star and was in the 2021-22 Kia All-NBA First Team selection. In the US and Canada, a further WNBA edition will be available featuring the Phoenix Mercury’s Diana Taurasi and Seattle Storm’s Sue Bird, but this will apparently not be an option in Australia. Brooker’s appearance on two editions of the game in Australia means there’ll be four total editions of NBA 2K23, outlined below from 2K – it should also be noted that the Digital Deluxe, Michael Jordan and Championship Editions all have dual-gen access on PlayStation and Xbox:
The Standard Edition will be available for $99.95 AUD / $109.99 NZD*** on PlayStation® 4 (PS4™), Xbox One, $89.95 AUD / $99.99 NZD on Nintendo Switch, and PC and $119.95 AUD / $129.99 NZD*** on PlayStation® 5 (PS5™) and Xbox Series X|S. Additionally, a special version of the Standard Edition, recognizing the cross-section of music and basketball culture, is planned for later this Fall. More information will be shared in the coming months.
The Digital Deluxe Edition will be available for $129.95 AUD / $139.99 NZD*** and grants players access to the Standard Edition across both generations of gaming within the same PlayStation and Xbox consoles; along with MyTEAM content, including 10K MyTEAM Points; 10 MyTEAM Tokens; 23 MyTEAM Promo Packs; Cover Star Players: Sapphire Devin Booker, Ruby Michael Jordan; Free Agent Option Pack; 1 Diamond Jordan Shoe (non-auctionable); and 1 Ruby Coach Card Pack; as well as MyCAREER content, including 10x 6 types of MyCAREER Skill Boosts; 10x 3 types of Gatorade Boosts; 2-hour Double XP Coin; 4x MyCAREER T-Shirts; Backpack; Custom Design Cover Star Skateboard; and Arm Sleeves;
