With basketball season officially tipped off, there might be a bit more of a demand forNBA 2K22when doing holiday and Black Friday shopping. The good news for keen-eyed shoppers is that, despite the renewed interest in the game in general, several retailers are looking to draw in customers by offering some very nice deals on the title. That includes both the PS4 and Xbox One versions as well as the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S editions for those willing to do a bit of sleuthing for theirBlack Friday sports game deals.
Like other games in the now long-running series,NBA 2K22is certainly a solid sports game and a good simulation when it comes to professional basketball video games. Even though it’s actually the only pro hoops game on consoles these days, it’s still considered high quality. On the other hand, this year’s edition isn’t one that is breaking the mold of the versions that came before it. That might be an added reason why Black Friday season is the best time of all to grab it at a significant discount.

While there was a time when it took being extra vigilant and getting up before dawn to get thebest deals on Black Friday, that’s not really the case anymore. The internet has made it far easier to bargain shop at a number of different retailers in the span of minutes, rather than hours. That allows people to do a bit of extra due diligence, even if they think they have definitely found the best deal onNBA 2K22.
When it comes toNBA 2K22, the day that the sales start isn’t the only thing that is fairly uniform.Target, GameStop, andBest Buyare all offering the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game for $29.99 and some of them have the current-gen edition for just the $10 additional price. However, Walmart is the overall cheapest deal by a few bucks, if it’s not the earliest one on the market.
To make things even easier, Black Friday dealsused to only occur on Black Friday. People would count down the hours after they had their Thanksgiving dinners before they had to go get in line at whatever store was their favorite to get what they wanted. This year, Walmart, Target, and other retailers are kicking off their sales at the beginning of Thanksgiving week.
As is always the case when trying to buy a game likeNBA 2K22, it’s important to note that stock may be limited. These kinds of sales might be easier to deal with than years past, but that makes it easier for everyone with an internet connection.
NBA 2K22is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
