The cover of NBA 2K23 will be deluxe, as it will feature Michael Jordan.
According to the Twitter account of the best-selling basketball video game, there will be two editions with the legendary player present in different forms.
The first of these will be the “Michael Jordan” edition, in which the Chicago Bulls icon can be seen celebrating in his own style and with the number 23 on his jersey.
The second edition is called the “Championship” edition and has Jordan’s jersey with his autograph on the cover.
Along with the publication of the covers, the company 2K sent a statement with some words from Alfie Brody, its vice president of marketing and worldwide strategy, in which he explains the choice of Michael Jordan as the 2023 star.
After making 23 the most recognized number in sports, it was only fitting that for NBA 2K23 we introduced the Michael Jordan edition. In addition, we are thrilled to introduce a new premium edition of the game with the NBA 2K23 Championship Edition, as no other player embodies the word ‘champion’ quite like Jordan.

Michael Jordan’s first time in videogames won’t be in NBA 2K23
When you have Michael Jordan’s talent it is normal that you are taken into account on several occasions for important things like video game covers.
While in 2023 the 2K will come with a special edition, on 2011 the NBA Hall of Famer was also the cover of an edition that included the “Jordan Challenge”. This was a game mode that reappeared in 2013, when Jordan reprised his role.
It is also expected that in the coming days some names of players who will accompany Jordan in certain moments will be revealed, something that the video game already tested last season.
