“Our team consistently looks for new ways to deliver unique, fun
experiences for the gamer,” said Greg Thomas, President of Visual
Concepts. “NBA 2KVR will give fans even more access to our
franchise and test new skills across entertaining VR
challenges.”
In the NBA 2KVR Experience, players will join NBA
2K17 cover athlete and All-Star Paul George, as they step onto
the court at the Indiana Pacers’ stadium, Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
Paul George will also provide commentary and guide the player by
offering tips to help improve their skills in mini-games, which
include three-point shootout, a speed and accuracy skills challenge
and the buzzer beater countdown. Players can earn a variety of
Gatorade fuel boosts that will aide their shooting acumen, speed,
recovery and more to help reach the top of the leaderboards.
“As a lifelong fan of NBA 2K, it’s exciting to see them
take the leap into VR, and even more exciting that it’ll be on my
home court,” said Paul George, cover star of NBA 2K17. “I
can’t wait for fans to dominate on the virtual court with virtual
help from Gatorade.”
NBA 2KVR Experience is rated E-10+* by the ESRB, and
launches November 22, 2016 for $14.99 on the HTC Vive™,
PlayStation®VR and Samsung Gear VR, and will later be available for
