💨 Abstract

NBA 2K27 is the year's top-selling video game in the US, despite poor user reviews and complaints about microtransactions and cheating. It launched in late August and September, overtaking "Resident Evil Requiem." User reviews on Metacritic and Steam are overwhelmingly negative, with criticisms ranging from gameplay issues to exploitative monetization. The game's success is attributed to the popularity of basketball and its casual appeal.
