Which NBA 2K game was the last to be released on PlayStation 3?

NBA 2K18 was the last NBA 2K game released on PlayStation 3. Released worldwide on September 19, 2017, it was the series’ 19th main installment and followed NBA 2K17.

NBA 2K18 launched across an unusually broad range of systems, including PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Windows, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android. Its release on both older and newer consoles marked the end of the series’ support for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 generations.

The game starred Kyrie Irving on the regular-edition cover, while Shaquille O’Neal appeared on special editions. A revised cover was produced after Irving was traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Boston Celtics before launch. NBA 2K19, released in 2018, moved on to newer hardware and did not receive a PlayStation 3 version.

A common mix-up is confusing the last game released during the PS3 era with the first NBA 2K title for the console. That earlier milestone was NBA 2K7, which launched on PlayStation 3 in November 2006.
