NBA The Run Kicks off its First Season with a Major Update

All the details on the first major update for NBA the Run built with community feedback.

What’s new

New gameplay cameras, licensed music and more.

Free update available now on XBOX Series X|S.

Wave One adds so many significant layers that truly change the way you will prepare for matches and compete for as many Finals wins as possible.

2000s NBA Legends Allen Iverson, Kevin Garnett, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady and Dirk Nowitzki join the roster, each bringing their Hall of Fame skillsets and signature moves to legendary courts around the world. Each of them even have an alternate jersey that’ll turn back the clock for basketball fans.

You can unlock each Legend individually for 5,000 Cred, the game’s in-game currency earned by progressing through the game. To get the complete lineup instantly you can also purchase all five Legends together as DLC for $9.99 in the Microsoft Store.

Wave One introduces Drive Cam and Drive Flip Cam, two new camera options that give you a better way to see the floor and see full passing lanes easier. Style moves also look great with these camera options.

Drive Cam places the camera behind your player and looks toward the basket you’re attacking, while Drive Flip Cam switches between your offensive and defensive ends of the court. Depending on how you play, the new perspectives can help with everything from reading passing lanes and positioning yourself on defense to judging how open you are.

It’s another way to experience NBA The Run and find the view that best fits your style of play.
