The NBA 2K22 75th Anniversary Edition features three generations of star players on the cover, illustrated by Atlanta artist Charly Palmer, whose work has also graced the cover of Time Magazine. The 75th Anniversary Edition will be priced at $99.99 and is expected to come with a variety of bonuses including 100,000 VC.

The 2K22 25th WNBA Anniversary Edition may be a little bit difficult to obtain. As of now, it is a Gamestop physical exclusive, meaning it will only be available in stores. On top of that, the edition will only be available for next-gen consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox Series X for $69.99. The edition will feature the first WNBA cover athlete, making this one an instant collectible.
