NBA 2K25 is taking notes from Fortnite, becoming a strange new digital platform by offering the only way to play the new game from acclaimed Lego racing devs

A fresh, futuristic new sports game is being added to NBA 2K25 as a paid add-on, but it looks like the developers may have been taking notes from Fortnite when it comes to becoming a platform for other games to exist within.

Say hello to Gravity Ball – a unique new sport which the president of NBA 2K developer Visual Concepts, Greg Thomas, describes as "American-Gladiators-meets-futuristic-basketball-meets-paintball." Players will be able to compete in 3v3 and 5v5 modes alongside friends, using power-ups and gravity-defying launch pads to soar through the air. It's certainly no run-of-the-mill basketball game we've seen before, but that's not what makes the whole situation so strange the more you look at it.
