A new season of basketball approaches, and just like clockwork this year's basketball video games are starting to come out. NBA 2K19's release date of September 11 has arrived on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, although pre-ordering the 20th Anniversary Edition got you in a few days early.

If you're unsure about picking up the game, you can check out the Prelude demo that is available now and gives a sampling of the game's story mode. Progress made in that can be carried over to the full game, making it a good place to start.
