Start Dunking in NBA THE RUN
The wait is over for all the basketball fans! Today, NBA THE RUN has officially arrived on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, bringing a fresh, streetball-inspired experience to all players. Developed by Play by Play Studios in collaboration with the NBA and NBPA, the game is available for just $29.99. And the coolest part is that it supports full cross-play right from day one.
Built around fast-paced 3v3 action, NBA THE RUN mixes real NBA stars with fictional streetball legends, creating a vibrant and energetic take on competitive basketball. Matches are designed to feel intense and unpredictable, packed with flashy dunks, slick dribble moves, and aggressive defensive play. Players compete in online knockout tournaments, aiming to stack wins and ultimately earn their place as the greatest to ever dominate the RUN.
At the center of the experience is the Run the World Tournament. It’s a four-round knockout format that takes teams across iconic courts around the globe. Each round introduces randomized rules that keep gameplay fresh and force players to adapt quickly. The journey leads to a high-stakes final, where teams battle it out for the championship trophy and ultimate bragging rights.
At launch, the game offers three main modes: Knockout Squads for team-based online play, Knockout Solos for players who want full control of their lineup, and Knockout Friends, which allows private tournaments with friends or AI opponents. There is also a shootaround mode for practicing moves and improving timing.
NBA THE RUN arrives as a bold, arcade-style take on basketball, focused on accessibility, competition, and nonstop action. It is a strong addition for players looking for something quick, stylish, and competitive.
