NBA 2K26 Patch 1.3 Released

Patch 1.3 is now available for the PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S versions of NBA 2K26. As always, it should come through automatically as long as you’re online. If it doesn’t, try restarting your console or Steam client, or checking for updates manually.

As with the other recent updates, Patch 1.3 addresses user-reported technical issues with NBA 2K26. These include hangs, problems with missing Cap Breakers and Badge Perks when leaving a Crew, broken MyCAREER Quests, and other bugs. Once again, the Season 2 patch will be the first major update, so don’t expect any gameplay changes or likeness updates until then.

The full patch notes can be found below, as well as in the NBA 2K26 update history in our Wiki. As always, feel free to share any thoughts in the comments, as well as join in the discussion here in the Forum!
