NBA 2K21 Next Generation was released with the next generation of consoles a few weeks ago, with those who purchased the Mamba edition getting a free upgrade and others having to pay for the new version. The two games are handled separately when it comes to updates, as NBA 2K21 Next Generation has additional features and modes that the original does not have. This time, Visual Concepts has released a new patch for the Next Generation version.
