NBA 2K26 Patch 4.0 Brings Season 4 Prep and Wide Fixes

Patch 4.0 for NBA 2K26 arrived January 8, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a PC rollout planned to coincide with the start of Season 4. The update focuses on backend and data changes to prepare MyCAREER, MyTEAM, and The W for new season content while cleaning up presentation, art, and gameplay bugs that have affected players across modes.

Under the hood, the patch applies server and data updates intended to support Season 4 content and progression systems. Presentation got a notable bump with several new RealVoice player interviews integrated across modes, adding fresh in-game narration and flavor to career and team experiences. Classic uniform and team art errors were corrected, addressing color, number, and spacing issues that had produced inconsistent jersey appearances in certain throwback kits.

Player and coach likeness work continued with multiple hair and appearance tweaks to bring models closer to real-life looks. The City and MyCAREER received a series of functional fixes aimed at hangs and challenge tracking: workouts, Park interactions, and Triple Threat behaviors were patched so objectives and lifetime challenges count correctly rather than stalling progress. That should reduce instances of stuck quests and lost progression that have frustrated players chasing badges and rep.

MyTEAM improvements target UI and reward display problems. The update adjusts pack market selection behavior, resolves lineup autofill oddities, and corrects MyTEAM Points display issues so rewards and values present more reliably. MyNBA, MyGM, and The W got stability and menu fixes as well, including repairs for custom team handling and smoother online league advancement to limit crashes and advancement failures.

PC got extra attention with stability and performance optimizations plus fixes for a few PC-specific bugs, including logic around achievement unlocking that had been reported by players. Console users can install the update now; PC users should expect the patch to drop in step with Season 4 so save syncing and launch timing line up with the new content.

The takeaway? Update consoles now and keep an eye for the PC rollout with Season 4. Verify your MyCAREER and MyTEAM objectives after installing, and if you still hit stuck challenges or display oddities, clear caches and report the issue through official support so it gets tracked. Our two cents? Patch 4.0 smooths a lot of annoying rough edges, but keep screenshots and notes handy if you bump into lingering bugs—those details are what gets the next fixes prioritized.
