NBA 2K15 is Now Available in Pocket-Size Edition for iOS Powered Devices and Amazon's Fire Phone!
A week after the October 7 NBA 2K15 release date for PCs and game consoles, 2K Sports followed suit with the launch of a mobile version of the game according to an October 16 post on its Facebook page. The NBA 2K15 mobile version is now available for iOS-powered devices, including iPhone 5+, iPad 4+, and iPad mini2+, as well as for Amazon's Fire phone, Fire HDX 8.9", and Kindle Fire HDX tablets. The game will also be coming soon to Fire TV. The NBA 2K15 for the hand-held devices also features support for physical controllers although it already comes with an on-board virtual controller with three pre-set sizes to choose from. A new NBA 2K15 trailer on Youtube heralded the launch of the mobile version of the game.
The release of NBA 2K15 for the iOS and Amazon mobile devices adds to game's platforms which already include PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows. The announcement from the game publisher does not mention if there will also be a release of the game for Android-powered mobile devices in the future.
As already previously noted by Game Spot, the NBA 2K15 PC next gen release has more superior graphical fidelity than the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions. Of course, the minimum NBA 2K15 system requirements for the PC version include a Windows 7 64 bit or higher OS, an Intel Core2 Duo or better processor, 2 or more GB RAM, DirectX 10.1 compatible (512 MB) or better graphics, a Version 11 Direct X, 50 or more GB available hard-drive space, a 9.0c compatible sound card, and a keyboard or dual-analog gamepad.
Oklahoma City Thunder's Kevin Durant is the NBA 2K15 cover athlete. The soundtrack for the game was curated by Pharrell Williams. The release of NBA 2K15 was generally well received by game critics and reviewers. The most notable complaint though has to do with online connection issues.
