How about cross progression between the XBOX and Windows PC versions?
The XBOX and Windows PC versions of NBA 2K27 are treated as separate instances, so any progress made on one will not carry over to the other.

The VC wallet isn’t shared between the XBOX and Windows PC versions of NBA 2K27. Any purchases of VC or other items will not transfer over between the two editions of the game.

How do I play on Windows PC if I already have it on XBOX, or vice versa?
Good news, all XBOX and Windows PC versions come with dual entitlement, which means if you’ve bought one, you’ll get the other for free! Just visit NBA 2K27 from the other platform, and you can download it at no cost.
What if I pre-ordered on XBOX?
Pre-orders and similar limited time offers won’t carry over to your Windows PC version. Ultra edition will remain Ultra edition for Windows PC if you already own it, but new purchases will only be available for Standard or Deluxe.
