Visual Concepts has announced NBA 2K26‘s v1.3 update, which includes many changes.
This is the first major patch to go live in the game since last week’s standard release. So far, the developers have refrained from making significant gameplay changes. The third patch follows the same pattern, mainly focusing on bug fixes.
Let’s look at the complete set of patch notes first.
