Game developer 2K Sports has officially launched the mobile version of its popular basketball simulation game, the "NBA 2K16." The company said that the game's mobile version can be downloaded on both Android (Google Play) and iOS (App Store) devices. Priced at $7.99, 2K claims that the recently launched mobile game  "delivers the most authentic mobile NBA simulation experience possible," a report from Design & Trend said.

According to Tech Times, "NBA 2K16" mobile version has the same features with the game's console version such as My Career mode, Season mode and the new Blacktop Mode that takes the game to the streets.

"This mobile game has an improved graphics and game performance compared with previous titles from this franchise, and there are also new controls, for a more seamless gameplay, including support for a physical controller. The new animations are smoother movement and more realistic articulation combined with new controls," the report said.

Listed below are the full features of the "NBA 2K16" mobile game, as reported by Design & Trend.

  • "Full MyCAREER, Blacktop, and Season modes
  • Improved graphics and game performance
  • New controls for smoother mobile gameplay
  • Ability to earn and enjoy more Virtual Currency
  • Euroleague is now available
  • Access to the NBA 2K Store with equipment, courts, VC, updated content, and more

It can be recalled that earlier this month, 2K Sports has released a free companion app for the game called "MyNBA2K16." Using the app, gamers will be allowed to play a mobile version of "NBA 2K's" MyTeam mode.  

The game's console version also features "a soundtrack curated by rapper DJ Khaled, as well as producers DJ Mustard and DJ Premier and new teams from the Euroleague basketball system," Tech Times noted.
