The NBA 2K23 cover athlete reveal has culminated in the announcement that Devin Booker will headline the standard edition of the game.

Visual Concepts has confirmed three separate covers, featuring four different players, for NBA 2K23.

The latter version crosses over from videogame into real life by including a 12-month subscription to NBA League Pass.
