Play by Play Studios has announced NBA The Run, a brand new, arcade 3v3 street basketball game that has players playing above-the-rim, posterizing opponents, and more.
When does NBA The Run come out?
NBA The Run comes from an independent team of veteran developers within the sports world, including former EA/EA Sports developers who are looking to dive back into the world of street basketball made popular by games like NBA Street. The game is set to release sometime in 2026, for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Check out a teaser trailer for NBA The Run below:
As the trailer for NBA The Run shows, players will not only be able to do some incredible high-flying moves, but also play as some of the biggest stars in the league. The trailer features NBA stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Lamelo Ball, Stephen Curry, Luka Dončić, Anthony Edwards, and Cooper Flagg, with others likely available in the game.
“NBA THE RUN captures the spirit of the video game classics that inspired generations of fans to fall in love with basketball,” said Nikki Pozzi, Vice President of Licensing at THNK450, the licensing, partnership, and innovation arm of the NBPA. “We are excited to be giving fans yet another way to deepen their connection with our players and the sport through gaming.”
Players will be able to play NBA The Run in either solo or squads, and will compete in Knockout Tournaments on legendary streetball courts to become the GOAT of the run. To match the vibe of NBA Street titles of the past, NBA The Run has enlisted the help of legendary New York DJ Bob “Bobbito” Garcia, who was the iconic voice of the NBA Street series, to help out in this game.
