After bursting onto the scene a few months ago, there are now even easier ways to dive in to the biggest basketball simulation game in the world as the NBA 2K24 trial is now available on both Xbox and PlayStation. With a limited window to try these out, the clock is ticking. If you want to see Mamba Moments or the highly touted MyNBA Eras Franchise Mode, the NBA 2K24 trial is the perfect opportunity to get a taste of the latest release.
Free NBA 2K24 Trial on Xbox Now Available
If you're on Xbox, there's extra good news as the NBA 2K24 trial is completely free and doesn't appear to be linked to Xbox Game Pass membership at all. There's been little fanfare about the Xbox trial, but it recently went live on the main dashboard and is still available via the Microsoft Store both on Xbox and online.
The one downfall is that this limited time trial will only allow you to play for two hours until leaving you the choice to stop mid-game or purchase a full version of NBA 2K24. If you do want to dive in, we suggest not getting wrapped up into build creation in MyCAREER and spending some time in MyNBA Eras or The W.
Sadly, there is no clear end date on the NBA 2K24 trial for Xbox. As a result, players who want to take advantage should make sure to claim it and download the game soon before this offer expires, just make sure you've got enough room to fit it on your console.
NBA 2K24 Trial on PlayStation Plus
While not as recent an arrival, an NBA 2K24 trial has been available since not long after launch for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers. In addition to the existing full game catalog, PlayStation Plus Premium offers a series of limited game trials.
Similar to Xbox, you won't be able to play for long, but PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers at least get an extra hour for a full three hours of gameplay. After that period, your NBA 2K24 free trial will expire and you'll have to purchase the game or stop playing.
As mentioned above, you still want to make sure not to lose all your time in character creation for a MyPLAYER build or just going through menus. Really, what you want to know is whether the gameplay itself is enjoyable for you, which could mean just knocking out several exhibition Play Now games.
