2K said the game had been "built from the ground up for next-generation consoles", but has not yet said how it will differ between the two generations.

"We believe our suggested retail price for NBA 2K21 on next-generation platforms fairly represents the value of what's being offered: power, speed and technology that is only possible on new hardware," the company told the BBC.

"Making games is an expensive business and production costs continue to escalate, so I can see why publishers want to charge more for enhancements on the new consoles," said Mr Harding-Rolls.

"However, with Microsoft pushing its smart delivery strategy and third parties following their own policies, the situation is becoming unnecessarily complex for gamers."

A deluxe version of the sports simulator - called Mamba Forever - will celebrate the lifetime achievement of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, who died in 2020.

It will cost:

£84.99 on both the current and next-generation console ($99.99 in the US)
£79.99 on PC
£79.99 on Google Stadia
2K has it said it will:

give players who buy the deluxe version on PS4 or Xbox One access to the standard version of the game on PS5 or Xbox Series X
give players who buy the deluxe version on PS5 or Xbox Series One access to the standard version of the game on PS4 or Xbox One
introduce "initiatives to bridge the two versions of the game", including a shared virtual currency wallet within the same console family.

I'll never understand why digital copies of games aren't cheaper. They aren't printing the discs, don't deal with shipping/handling to stores, etc. They are just putting the game files online in a store. So why is the game the same price as a physical copy? Should be 5 dollars cheaper!

But that’s why I said about ‘buying into a license’ with a console. It gives them free reign to charge whatever. Plus of course you’ve been around long enough when boxes disappeared off shelves inc manuals and the freebies that went with it, game prices didn’t ever need to go up. In fact they said it would be cheaper without the overheads. Yeah, like wind turbines would mean cheaper electricity or electric cars would be cheaper to make etc. The pc is still the only platform that is fighting for sales and competes with other platforms like ubi, Epic and steam. They all regardless have sales at different times and you’ll get a game somewhere along the line what you want to pay for at the price that suits you. Unlike console
