2K announced NBA 2K HQ, the official companion app for NBA 2K27, on August 18, 2026. The app is scheduled to launch August 21, 2026 at 8:00 AM PT on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store (iOS and Android) — five days before Early Access on August 26.1
Crew Features
NBA 2K HQ connects players to their Crew around the clock:1
- Real-time messaging with your squad
- Full Crew management — invites, roster controls, friend list
- Daily Leaderboards and Crew Rewards tracking between sessions
- Mobile-exclusive daily login rewards that carry back to console
The City Reveal also notes continuous tracking for Daily Leaderboards and Crew Rewards directly from the app.2
Beyond Crews: MyPLAYER Builder
The app includes the complete MyPLAYER Builder, letting players craft builds away from the game and upload them to their home setup via QR codes or links.12 Improved Face Scan features are also included for quicker, more accurate scanning.2
Why Crew Captains Should Care
For organized squads, the app removes the gap between sessions. Captains can manage rosters, coordinate lineups, and track leaderboard progress without needing to be in The City — useful for scheduling ranked runs and divisional tournament prep.
