Michael Jordan is the official cover star of NBA 2K23.

Developer 2K Games has finally unveiled the official cover star of the forthcoming NBA 2K23 as arguably its most famous player ever. Michael Jordan will grace the cover of the new game on both the NBA 2K23 Championship Edition, as well as the premium NBA 2K23 Michael Jordan Edition.

"NBA 2K is excited to be able to showcase Jordan's greatest moves on the virtual court to relive one of the most sensational times in NBA history," reads a press release for the announcement, also revealing that NBA 2K23 will completely rebuild the popular Jordan Challenges from NBA 2K11.

Right now, there isn't a release date for NBA 2K23, but at least we know one of the cover stars who'll feature front and centre for the game.

Just earlier this year, NBA 2K's publisher was sued for $5 million over its use of loot boxes.
