As this is only 48 tracks from the full list, there are many more to hear in the final game when it releases September 4. Just like its predecessor, however, the song roster will also continue to expand over the year, with new artists and chart toppers you’ve been dying to hear.
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard will also appear on the proper soundtrack, in addition to his spot on NBA 2K21’s cover. “To be on the cover alone is a big deal to me, but to be on the cover and also have my music be a part of the game is a huge accomplishment as well,” Lillard said in a press release. “Personally, I’ve been introduced to new artists, songs and genres that I might hear on the radio, but I heard it first on NBA 2K.”
As the NBA 2K21 release date draws near, the soundtrack is generally one of the first major reveals for any annual NBA 2K installment. Over the next month or so, fans are likely to get additional gameplay deep dives and maybe even a first look at a presumed free demo for the game. For right now, though, these smooth tunes will have to be enough to hold you over until something bigger comes along.
NBA 2K21 is available September 4 on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC and Stadia. PS5 and Xbox Series X versions are also due to arrive later in the fall.
