Alright, so I’ve been seeing a lot of people asking how to get NBA 2K24 for free. Let me tell you, it’s a bit of a mixed bag, but I went ahead and did some digging to see what’s what.
First, I searched online to see what the official word was. I found out that NBA 2K24 MyTEAM is actually free to download. Sounds good, right? Well, it comes with a catch. There are in-game purchases, and they even mention random items. They say you can find info about the drop rates for these random items in the game, which is kinda helpful, I guess. But if you’re like me and don’t want to deal with all that, you can turn off in-app purchases in your phone or tablet settings. That’s what I did, anyway.

Then I looked into this other thing called NBA 2K Mobile. It’s a free basketball sports game from the same folks who make NBA 2K24. Seems like it’s part of a whole bunch of NBA 2K games they’ve got, like NBA 2K25 and NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition. I downloaded it to check it out, and it’s alright if you just want a quick basketball fix, but it’s not the full NBA 2K24 experience.
I also stumbled upon something about an NBA 2K24 Game Trial for Nintendo Switch Online Members. It’s supposed to be free for a limited time. I don’t have a Switch, so I couldn’t try this one out myself. But if you’ve got a Switch and you’re an Online Member, this might be worth looking into.
- NBA 2K24 MyTEAM is free to download but has in-game purchases.
- NBA 2K Mobile is a separate free game, but it’s not the full NBA 2K24.
- There might be a free trial for Nintendo Switch Online Members.
Here is what I got:
Oh, and I saw something about NBA 2K24 not being free on Xbox. So, if you’re an Xbox player, you’re probably out of luck there.
So, there you have it. That’s what I found out about getting NBA 2K24 for free. It’s not as straightforward as I hoped, but there are some options to at least try out parts of the game or related games without spending money. Hope this helps!
