Although NBA 2K26 is now available to most people on September 5, Visual Concepts has released a new patch for those playing it during its early access period, which should be considered the basketball sim’s day-one update.

Officially tagged as version 1.1 by Visual Concepts, console players will see this download as NBA 2K26 update 1.003 (complete version 01.003.000). Expect this patch to include general fixes rather than direct gameplay changes, which is understandable given the game isn’t technically even out yet.

Read on for the patch notes below.
