Teen Account FAQ
Q: I have a full NBA 2K Account, why do I need to update my settings to access game content?
A: 2K follows region-specific guidelines in relation to providing an age-appropriate game experience for younger gamers.
For players who are not old enough to create a full NBA 2K Account themselves, we support creating a NBA 2K Child Account which gives parents and guardians of younger players control over which in-game features or modes their child is allowed to access.
For players who are old enough to create a full NBA 2K Account but are under 18, we may disable certain features by default but allow the player to make changes to control their own access.
Q: How do I update my NBA 2K Account settings?
A: If you try to access a disabled feature, you will be prompted in-game to update your account. Take the following steps to update your account:
The settings menu can be accessed via "Features" on the main loading page of NBA 2K, or via "Parental Permissions" in the Settings menu within the NBA 2K HQ app.
