Boston athletes have a long history of appearing on video game covers, dating back to the early 1980s with Larry Bird and Julius Erving leading the way in basketball games. NBA 2K25 cover athletes have been announced, with Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics on the Standard Edition and Vince Carter on the Hall of Fame Edition. This year's NBA 2K25 features a dual-league cover with Jayson Tatum and A'ja Wilson representing both the NBA and WNBA. The game introduces mode parity across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, offering MyCAREER, MyTEAM, and MyNBA experiences, including a more interactive City. A historical first sees a WNBA player featured on a non-WNBA edition of the game. Vince Carter, a retired Hall of Famer, graces the Hall of Fame Edition cover.
