Take The Game Back To The Streets With NBA The Run

At the heart of NBA The Run is the Run the World Tournament, a four-round Knockout tournament where teams of three will be going head-to-head on iconic streetball courts around the world. Each tournament ends with a championship game at one of four specially designated finals courts, where you'll square off for the Run the World trophy and the ultimate bragging rights. There are three game modes coming at launch, including:

• Knockout Squads – Play on a Squad of three. You control 1 player on the Squad, fill out your team with friends / other players, and take on the competition.
• Knockout Solos – Build your own Team of three. You control your team and go head-to-head against other players and their teams of three.
• Knockout Friends – Your own Private Tournament. Play alone against the AI, crew up w/ friends against the AI, or go head-to-head against anyone you want to invite in (up to 48 players at Launch).

At launch, players will take to the courts as one of 30+ NBA stars, along with five fictional streetball legends, each with different playstyles, and each uniquely handcrafted and stylized. Gameplay is fast, fluid, and responsive, powered by true rollback netcode, ensuring every crossover, dive for loose ball, and alley-oop syncs simultaneously for every player in a seamless online experience.
