NBA 2k 21 is free for a limited time; here’s how you claim it

Epic Games users are now eligible to receive a completely free copy of NBA 2k 21. Here’s how

You better hurry up and claim the newest iteration of NBA 2K. Until May 27th, Epic Games is handing out free, full copies of the triple A title that you can keep forever

Yes, forever

Often times, Epic drops free copies of random triple A titles to incentivize users to use the Epic Games Store (EGS) as their primary gamefont marketplace

GTAV and BattleFront are two wildly popular titles Epic previously collaborated with for the same type of promotion

How to redeeem your copy of NBA 2k 21

If you’ve ever redeeemed a free copy on the EGS before, it’s the exact same process. For first-timers, follow the steps below:

1. Click on the NBA 2k 21 page on the EGS

2. Scroll to the base game (the one that writes FREE under price)

3. Click “get”

4. Follow the purchase process (you won’t actually pay anything!)

Install is not necessary, but you’ll have to follow the aforementioned steps before May 27th to have a free lifetime copy in your library

NBA x Fortnite

The 2021 NBA playoffs tip off this Saturday, and you can expect plenty of in-game celebrations, from new gear to community competitions and Creative mode updates.

NBA Outfits

A brand-new collection of sporty skins arrives in the Item Shop at 8pm ET, May 21. The In The Paint set allows you to represent any of the 30 NBA teams and you can even pick your own jersey number.

Additionally, secure the Hookshot Emote to take a shot at a friend wearing the Mini Hoop Back Bling, which you can also customize to support your favorite roster.

Team Battles

Fancy earning some nice rewards? Head over to the Fortnite x NBA Team Battles page to sign up and choose a team to rep.

Be sure to act fast, each team has just 15,000 member spots. You can still register as a fan once these spots are filled, but you will not be eligible to win V-Bucks.

Lace up... The Crossover is going to knock you off your feet ??
