Summary

  • 11 AM Pacific marked the simultaneous global launch of NBA The Run, with no staggered regional rollout across Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam.
  • Play by Play Studios positions the $29.99 title as a street-focused alternative to traditional NBA sims, built around multiplayer 3v3 matches featuring stars such as Steph Curry, LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
  • Cross-platform matchmaking, unlockable Street Legends, character-specific attributes and randomized modifiers — including dunks-only or 3-point-focused scoring — are designed to keep matches varied.
  • A $39.99 Deluxe Edition adds three rookie variants and 1,000 CRED, following a limited-time beta that gave players early access before the full release.
