The WNBA-focused “The W” mode will be returning in NBA 2K26. And while 2K is touting some new features, The W seems to retain a lot of the overall structure that was present in last year’s game. The central premise — rise through the WNBA ranks and cement yourself as the GOAT — remains unchanged from NBA 2K25. The difference this year seems to be in how that journey is framed and the smaller touches around it.
