More about NBA 2K25
This site sampled 799 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 3 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written December 2025 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 19 percent of the 1,651 reviews written there were positive, against 59 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, currency); the score docks it lightly for that.
Finishing takes 21.7 hours; clearing it takes 431, which is 20 times the campaign.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.
