NBA The Run Launches as Streetball Throwback With Stacked Roster and No Microtransactions

Game Informer · 10h ago

Play by Play Studios' arcade basketball game NBA The Run launched June 9 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC for $29.99, drawing comparisons to the classic NBA Street series. Reviewers praised its comic-book visual style, officially licensed roster, and absence of microtransactions, though many flagged the always-online requirement and lack of a story or career mode as drawbacks for solo players. Built by a relatively small 18-person team, it is being viewed as a promising start for a franchise that could grow through future updates.
