Classic NBA arcade action is back! Take your “A” game to the playground and beat the best in high-flying 2-on-2 basketball action. Play as NBA superstars and legends from the past, including Allen Iverson, LeBron James, Steph Curry and Shaquille O'Neal.      

All 30 NBA teams are featured in NBA Playgrounds, as well an extensive roster of current and retired NBA players that you can level up over time.  Play solo, with friends in local and online multiplayer, or against the world in online tournaments. There are hundreds of over-the-top dunks and moves to unleash for show-stopping displays of acrobatic skill on lively playgrounds across the globe.

Independent developer Saber Interactive announced that NBA Playgrounds has sold over 500,000 units across the PS4, Xbox One, Switch and Windows PC (Steam) since launching in May.

Saber has released multiple free updates for NBA Playgrounds already, with more expected by the end of summer. Another 33 new players will be added, including current stars such as J.R. Smith and Chris Paul, dominators from recent eras like Baron Davis and Tim Duncan, old-school legends Jerry West and Elgin Baylor, and even some modern-day sports gaming YouTubers like Agent 00 and Shake4ndBake. Packs will be better balanced to reduce the number of duplicates players open. Saber will also introduce a three-point contest mode with online play, a new rebounding system and fully functional friend invites to matches.

These updates will arrive on PS4, Xbox One and PC first, followed by Nintendo Switch at a later date.

“NBA Playgrounds has been a labor of love for us at Saber, so it’s hugely gratifying to see the game strike a chord. Its success has paved the way for us to consider creating other arcade-style sports titles,” said Saber’s CEO, Matt Karch. “We’ve worked tirelessly since release to refine the game and deliver the free content we promised, and we’re going to keep supporting it. I want to thank the community for their ongoing feedback, specifically players on Switch, who had to wait so long for the full experience they deserve.”
