An NBA 2K25 player went viral on social media after spending $32,000 on microtransactions. Released in 2024, NBA 2K25 is the latest installment in the iconic NBA 2K franchise, published by 2K. Available for PC and current and previous generation consoles, the game takes fans through the excitement of the world of basketball with realistic graphics.

NBA 2K25 has a variety of features, including The City, a hub where fans can access all game modes and spot murals featuring some of basketball's biggest stars. While NBA 2K25 offers a lot to do by default, the experience can be taken further by purchasing premium currency to spend on upgrading squads or the players' overall ratings. NBA 2K25's microtransactions have been in the spotlight a few times, and this time it is because of one player's staggering investment.

NBA 2K25 Player Surprises by Spending $32K on Microtransactions

On Twitter, user Troydan shared a video of an NBA 2K25 player who spent $32,000 on microtransactions. Most of the player's spending was on Virtual Currency (VC) packs of different amounts, the main ones being 700K and 450K VC, which cost $160.48 and $106.99, respectively. They purchased level skips several times, the Hall of Fame Pass for Seasons 6, 7, and 8, gaining access to rewards such as cosmetics, XP boosts, and additional VC to spend on the game. They also purchased offers for MyTeam, the popular NBA 2K25 card-collecting mode, for the same seasons.

The clip quickly went viral on Twitter, receiving comments from users impressed by the player's investment. Some were humorous, saying that he “paid the salaries of 2K employees all by himself.” Other reactions were critical of this aspect of the game, as microtransactions in NBA 2K games are a divisive feature. Although the community often argues against the amount of microtransactions in a game that is not free-to-play, this feature continues to drive 2K's revenue, according to the company's quarterly earnings reports.

While NBA 2K26 has not been released, NBA 2K25 continues to receive updates, the most recent of which dropped at the end of June. This NBA 2K25 patch came in anticipation of the launch of Season 8, which began on June 27 and features Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson. With new content and a new pass, players can unlock rewards including The Coyote, mascot of the San Antonio Spurs, and the 100 OVR cards of Bam Adebayo, D'Angelo Russell, and Larry Kenon.
