Visual Concepts has released another patch for NBA 2K26, which makes this the fourth patch pushed out since the game was relesaed earlier this month.
Same as with the other patches, there are no balancing changes made here, as this is more to deal with various issues. Called the version 1.4 patch, console gamers will see this as NBA 2K26 update 1.006 (complete version 1.006.000), and given how the developers handle file management, this should be a hefty download even if it doesn’t house a lot of changes.
For the complete list of changes made today, read on for the official patch notes.
NBA 2K26’s Update for Sept. 18 Fixes Bugs in Various Modes as Part of Patch 1.006
The fixes for today’s patch include no gameplay-related changes, as the developers say they are continuing to monitor games across various modes by players of all skill levels before making any major changes.
THE CITY

While there aren’t a lot of changes in today’s update, the developers shared they are working quickly to resolve the most user-impacting issues being reported, and expect a beefier patch to be released prior to the start of Season 2, which will contain a much broader set of fixes and improvements to the entire game.
