The house that Octagon built. Last week, we launched NBA 2K26 with the House of 2K, a one-of-a-kind activation in downtown Manhattan. Basketball fans from across the city visited to demo the new game, snap photos with the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy, and step inside the culture of a franchise that’s shaped basketball for decades. The House of 2K featured three immersive rooms celebrating this year’s cover athletes, plus live music, exclusive giveaways, and plenty of moments that made the launch unforgettable. 🎥 Check out the recap:
