2K Sports has announced a new version of NBA 2K23 that features a non-basketball player on the cover. The “Dreamer Edition” of the game will feature rapper J. Cole on the cover, and he’s also set to appear in the game. The Dreamer Edition is exclusive to GameStop for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in the US and Canada.
Cole will appear in NBA 2K23’s MyCareer mode, which tells a story that begins after the NBA Draft. Players will attempt to become the best basketball players they can be, while managing their off-the-court lives in the realms of music, fashion, and business. Cole is part of the “rich cast of characters” who will appear in the story mode.
NBA 2K23’s other cover stars include Devin Booker, and Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird together on the WNBA Edition cover. There is another version of the game featuring Michael Jordan on the cover as well.
