SEASON PASS FAQ

There are several ways to earn brand-new content in NBA 2K27, including the Season Rewards Ladder and Season Pass. These rewards systems are combined into one path, meaning that you’ll level up regardless of whether you play MyTEAM or MyCAREER.

Compete in a variety of game modes, gain XP, and earn exclusive rewards every Season as you continue your climb to Level 40.

Pro and Hall of Fame Passes return in NBA 2K27, netting you even more rewards, in addition to the Season Rewards Ladder available to all NBA 2K27 players. Both passes include automatic rewards and up to 40 earnable Premium Rewards. The Hall of Fame Pass adds even more content, such as an additional 15% XP Boost, 10 Level Skips, and 15,000 VC. 

Use your VC and boosts however you see fit, keep stacking wins up to Level 40, and flex your rewards on and off the court.

Pro Pass ($9.99)

  • 15% XP Booster applied throughout the Season
  • 10 Level Skips immediately applied to the Season reward track
