Anyone who paid $99.99 for the NBA 2K25 All-Star Edition at launch in September 2024 gets a little over two years of MyCareer, the series' single-player story mode, before 2K pulls the plug. 2K removed the game from digital storefronts on October 30, 2026, and will shut down its online servers on December 31 of this year. Because MyCareer runs on those servers, it will disappear with them.
