Alright, so you wanna know how many folks are playin’ this NBA 2K24 game, huh? Well, it ain’t as simple as countin’ chickens in the coop, that’s for sure. Let me tell ya, it’s a whole lotta people, but it depends on where you’re lookin’ and when.
First off, if you’re playin’ at home with your buddies, like on your couch, it ain’t that many. On some of them computer things and PlayStations, you can only have four fellas playin’ at once. I heard tell that on them Xboxes, maybe six can join in. Kinda like a big ol’ card game, but with basketball. You can look it up on that Google thingy to be sure, though. Now, if you’re playin’ online, with folks from all over, that’s a different story. You can have up to eight people bouncin’ that ball around together. That’s a whole heap of players, if you ask me.

But then there’s them numbers online, the ones them computer whizzes track. They say on that Steam thingy, where all them computer games are, there’s a good few thousand folks playin’ right now. Like, right this minute! I heard tell it was over eight thousand, maybe even close to nine thousand, the last time someone checked. And that’s just on the computer! Imagine how many more are playin’ on them PlayStations and Xboxes. It’s enough to fill a whole stadium, I reckon.
Now, they also talk about how many folks have ever played the game, even just for a minute. And that number is even bigger, of course. It’s like countin’ how many folks have ever eaten an apple. Lots of people try it out, but not all of them stick around. They also keep track of how many are playin’ regular-like, you know, the ones who come back day after day to shoot some hoops.
- Offline play: Maybe 4 or 6 folks at a time
- Online play: Up to 8 people can play
- Steam (computer games): Thousands playin’ at any given time
- Total players: A whole lot more, countin’ everyone who’s ever tried it
But here’s the thing, this year’s game, the 2K24, ain’t doin’ as well as last year’s, the 2K23. I heard tell that when 2K23 first came out, there were way more folks playin’. Like, more than double the amount. Seems like folks ain’t as happy with this new game, readin’ some of them reviews and such. They sayin’ it ain’t as good, that somethin’ ain’t right. It’s like bakin’ a pie and forgettin’ the sugar – it just don’t taste the same, you know?
So, to answer your question, how many are playin’? Well, it’s a lot, but it ain’t as many as last year. And it depends on if you’re playin’ at home or online, and on what kinda machine you’re usin’. It’s a movin’ target, like tryin’ to catch a greased pig. But one thing’s for sure, there are enough folks playin’ to keep them game makers happy, even if they ain’t doin’ as good as they hoped.
And that’s all I know about that. It’s a whole lot of numbers and such, makes my head spin. I’d rather be out in the garden, tendin’ to my tomatoes, if you ask me. But that’s what folks are sayin’ about this NBA 2K24 game, and I reckon they know a thing or two about it.

One more thing, them numbers they talk about, like peak players and concurrent players, that’s just fancy talk for how many folks are playin’ at the busiest time and how many are playin’ right now. Don’t let it confuse you none. It’s all just a way of keepin’ track, like countin’ how many eggs you got in the basket.
Anyways, I hope that answers your question. It ain’t a straight answer, I know, but nothin’ ever is with these young folks and their computer games. Just remember, lots of folks playin’, but maybe not as many as they’d like. And that’s the long and short of it, as far as I can tell.
