NBA The Run is a lightning-quick, 3v3 arcade-style street basketball game developed by Play by Play Studios, launching in 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. It brings back memories of NBA Jam with its over-the-top dunking and above-the-rim shenanigans mixed with real sports stars on iconic courts.

The team will reveal more players each week in the lead up to launch sometime this year.
