NBA 2K25 Story Mode to Become Unplayable as Servers Shut Down

Original: NBA 2K25's Single Player Story Mode Will Soon Become Unplayable as Servers Shut Down

The single-player story mode in NBA 2K25 will stop working when 2K shuts down the game's servers, meaning portions of an offline mode will effectively become unplayable. The move follows the publisher's usual practice of retiring support for older entries in the basketball series as a new edition takes over. Players have expressed frustration that content they paid for depends on online infrastructure.

Why now: Gamers are reacting to news that a game they own will lose functionality through no fault of their own, reigniting debate over always-online game design.
