Surprise! Xbox has randomly announced today that NBA 2K26 is coming to Game Pass this week, arriving for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass members on Friday, April 3rd.
The bizarre timing of the reveal has even led people to question whether it's an April Fools' joke, but we don't believe that to be the case - the announcement on social media seems very official at first glance:
NBA 2K26 marks the 10th game to be announced for Xbox Game Pass in April 2026 so far, and we're not even through one full day of the month yet! There's still a lot more to be revealed, so this is a fantastic start for April already.
Just make sure you've cleared some space by the time Friday rolls around, as NBA 2K26 demands well over 100GB of storage (or alternatively, it should be available via the cloud as well). We expect this to prove very popular on XGP!
