Get ready to step onto the virtual hardwood and channel your inner superstar, as NBA 2K25 Season 4 is set to tip off on January 10th with Oklahoma City Thunder phenom Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the charge. Visual Concepts, the masterminds behind the uber-popular basketball sim, are pulling out all the stops to celebrate Gilgeous-Alexander’s meteoric rise and his second consecutive All-Star nod.
A Season Fit for a Star
In a departure from the typical approach of theming seasonal content around the cover athlete’s signature style, NBA 2K25 is instead shining the spotlight squarely on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s incredible performance this season. The young guard’s electrifying play and undeniable swagger have captured the hearts of fans and the attention of the league’s elite.
As players embark on their MyCAREER journey in Season 4, they’ll have the opportunity to unlock an array of fresh cosmetics that pay homage to Gilgeous-Alexander’s All-Star status. From the Phoenix Suns’ iconic gorilla mascot to a sleek varsity jacket, there’s no shortage of swag to help you stand out on the blacktop. And for those looking to make a statement, the banana man costume is sure to turn heads.
Next-Gen Exclusives
Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper NBA 2K25 update without some love for the next-gen crowd. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S owners will have access to exclusive rewards like the Drift Trike and Cap Breaker, further enhancing the immersive experience that the cutting-edge consoles provide.
MyTEAM Madness
For the collectors and competitive players out there, Season 4 introduces a slew of new MyTEAM cards designed to bolster your roster’s depth and firepower. Leading the pack is the Anthony Edwards Evolution Card, which challenges you to complete specific tasks to level up the card and unlock its full potential.
Other noteworthy additions include:
- Diamond Cole Anthony (Level 10)
- Diamond James Jones (Level 20)
- Pink Diamond Clint Capela (Level 30)
- Galaxy Opal Xavier McDaniel (Level 37)
- Dark Matter Dwyane Wade (Level 40)
In between these milestones, players can also snag Hall of Fame badges and high-value card packs. And for the first time, Diamond-tier cards are up for grabs outside of the Season Pass. By conquering all 33 games in the new NBA Journeys Domination mode, you’ll earn six Diamond studs, including Isaiah Thomas, Garrett Temple, and Seth Curry, as well as a max-level Galaxy Opal Bill Walton card.
The W Online Gets a Legend
Not to be outdone, The W Online, NBA 2K25’s increasingly popular women’s league mode, is adding a Lauren Jackson coach card as its crown jewel reward for Season 4. The Australian basketball icon and four-time Olympic medalist is sure to provide a boost to any squad looking to dominate the competition.
As the NBA season kicks into high gear and All-Star Weekend looms on the horizon, NBA 2K25 Season 4 promises to deliver an unparalleled basketball gaming experience.
