NBA 2K All-Star, a mobile adaptation of the popular basketball simulation game, is launching in China on March 25th. This collaboration between Tencent and the NBA aims to deliver a live-service experience to fans in the East Asian market.
The increasing popularity of mobile gaming has led to a surge in AAA sports simulators on mobile platforms. While this trend is not unexpected, the partnership between Tencent and the NBA to bring the NBA 2K franchise to mobile in China is noteworthy. Basketball enjoys immense popularity in China, making this a strategic move for both companies.
The absence of the typical year-based branding (like 2K24, 2K25) in NBA 2K All-Star suggests a potential long-term live-service model. The specific features and content included in this mobile version remain to be seen.

Until more details about NBA 2K All-Star are revealed, much of the discussion remains speculative. However, the NBA's growing mobile presence is evident, with other collaborations like Dunk City Dynasty further solidifying this strategy. While some ventures, such as NBA All World, haven't met expectations, the overall trend points towards mobile gaming as a key avenue for the NBA to engage with its fanbase.
