NBA 2K26 just dropped Patch 1.3, and there’s plenty for players to get hyped about. Released around September 11th, 2025, Update Version 1.3 focuses on fixing online disconnects, improving stability across Park, Pro-Am, REC, and The City, and polishing some persistent MyCAREER and MyTEAM issues.
While core gameplay balance remains untouched for now, 2K has packed in meaningful quality-of-life tweaks and bug fixes, which should make competing online much smoother and less frustrating.
Whether grinding for badges or organizing a quick game with your crew, these changes are designed to keep you hustling, not troubleshooting error codes.
