Kobe Bryant Edition
Price: $59.99 for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC; $69.99 for Xbox Series X|S and PS5.
Inclusions:
- The game lol
Here's the kicker, though - if you have a PS4 and would like to upgrade to a PS5 version in the future, or Xbox One to Xbox Series X|S (I didn't think it wouldn't apply to the Xboxes, but here we are), you're going to have to get either the 25th Anniversary or the Black Mamba Edition. If you have a PS4 now and you get the cheaper version of the Kobe Bryan Edition, which is essentially the standard edition, you're gonna have to pony up another 70 bucks should you wanna upgrade in the future.
WNBA Edition
Players in the USA and Canada may purchase the WNBA Edition, which includes WNBA All-Star, NCAA all-time triple-doubles leader and New York Liberty guard, Sabrina Ionescu, as this year's cover athlete.
