NBA The Run is set to launch on June 9 for $30 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam. Developed by Play by Play Studios, the game is overseen by Mike Young, an artist from the original NBA Street series. Unlike simulation-focused games like NBA 2K26, NBA The Run emphasizes arcade-style gameplay with 3v3 matches and a Knockout Tournament format. Players can engage in three main modes: Knockout Squads, Knockout Solos, and Knockout Friends, allowing for both competitive play and custom tournaments. The game features over 30 real NBA players, including stars like Steph Curry, Luka Dončić, Kevin Durant, and Joel Embiid. Originally conceived as The Run: Got Next in 2024, the game was rebranded after securing the official NBA license. With the arcade sports genre currently underserved, NBA The Run aims to spark a revival in this area.
