What is Crossplay?

Crossplay is the ability to play an online game with players who are using different hardware platforms. For example, you could be playing NBA 2K22 on your PS4 with someone who is playing on their Xbox One. Crossplay has become increasingly popular in recent years, as it allows for a wider pool of players to compete with each other.

How to Crossplay NBA 2K22

NBA 2K22 is a basketball simulation video game that was released on September 4, 2020, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Stadia. The game is the 23rd installment in the NBA 2K franchise and the successor to NBA 2K21. NBA 2K22 features multiple new gameplay mechanics, including crossplay.

Set up an account

You need to have an account with a console platform provider (Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo) to be able to play NBA 2K22. You also need an account with a PC platform provider (Steam, Epic Games Store, or Origin). You cannot crossplay NBA 2K22 without both of these accounts.

Once you have both accounts, you need to link them together. To do this, you need to go to the NBA 2K22 website and sign in with your console account. Once you’re signed in, go to the “MyNBA2K” page and select “Linked Accounts.” From here, you will be prompted to enter your PC account information. Once you’ve entered your information, press the “Link Accounts” button and your accounts will be linked together.

Now that your accounts are linked, you can crossplay NBA 2K22 on any platform!

Connect your account

4 steps to get cross-platform play up and running for NBA 2K22
It’s time to take your MyPlayer online in NBA 2K22. The first thing you’ll need to do is ensure you’ve got an account that can be used across all platforms, which is easily done by linking your 2K account with an existing Gamer handle or creating a new one.

Once that’s out of the way, fire up NBA 2K22 on your console of choice and select “MyPLAYER” from the main menu. From there, scroll down to “Options/Features” and select “Cross-Platform Play.”

If this is your first time attempting to use the feature, you’ll be prompted to read and accept the terms of service. Do so, then select your preferred platform for matchmaking. You can always change this later if you’d like, but it’s best to pick the platform you’re most likely to play on the most.

Start playing

First and foremost, you’ll need to create an account on the 2K servers. You can do this on the official NBA 2K website or through the NBA 2K game itself. Once you have an account, make sure you’re logged in when you boot up the game. You should see your username in the top right corner of the main menu.

From here, simply select “MyTEAM” from the main menu. Choose “Cross-Platform Play” from the resulting list of options. You can now select which platform you want to play on: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or PC. If you want to change your platform at any time, simply go back to this menu and reselect your preferred platform.

Now that you’ve selected your platform, it’s time to start playing! When creating your MyPLAYER, be sure to choose “Create A Profile” instead of “Link To Account.” Doing so will ensure that your progress is tied to your current console rather than your 2K account. This way, if you ever want to switch platforms, you can simply create a new profile on your new console and link it to your 2K account. Your progress will then carry over automatically.

Conclusion

Unfortunately, at this time it does not appear as though NBA 2k22 will have crossplay capabilities. However, the game does have other innovative features that may be of interest to you, such as a new create-a-player mode that allows you to create players with unique body types and skillsets.
