NBA 2K23 PS4 to PS5 upgrade process
In order to get a free upgrade for NBA 2K23 from PS4 to PS5, you need to buy either the Digital Deluxe Edition, Michael Jordan Edition, or Championship Edition of the game.
If you buy the physical PS4 version of one of these editions, you will automatically get an accompanying digital copy of the game on PS5 through a code in the game box. If you buy the PS4 digital version, you will get entitlement to the PS5 version directly through your account, so you don’t have to take any extra steps.
This free upgrade is focused on the same console family so you won’t be able to upgrade across between Xbox and PlayStation. MyTeam crossplay and your VC wallet will be carried over between the two generations when you do this upgrade. But, any other progression won’t be. On top of that, NBA 2K23 crossplay isn’t available.
