The good news for those trying to save space on their console’s hard drive, is that the download size for NBA 2K26 is about 20 GB’s less than NBA 2K25’s initial download size and over 50 GB’s less than NBA 2K24’s.
The NBA 2K26 download size does not include the usual day one patch for NBA 2K26. Gamers can make room for NBA 2K26 by clearing out storage space on their console by deleting unused games or apps or by connecting an external hard drive to add more storage.
How Long Does it Take to Download NBA 2K26?
The relatively large download size means it may take a good while to download, depending on a user’s connection speed. In previous NBA 2K’s, it could take anywhere from 20 minutes or more to download the game, depending on a user’s internet speed. Also, some game modes may be playable early on while the rest of the game is being downloaded.
