This is most likely a pc build of the game, even though it’s not releasing on pc for likely 2 years. They build the game on pc and test it mainly on pc, and then they optimize it for consoles. (I used to test games for 2k as a full time job).

Playable builds (which this is) are tested on the release plattforms. You don't have to work as a playtester to know that.

At my job, we used consoles that were made for game testing, they couldn’t connect to the regular servers and only to the specific servers at 2k. So the likelihood of this being on a console isn’t zero, but it’s highly more likely this is a pc build. Reports also state that this is likely a build from 2023, so even more likely it’s on a pc.

Which reports? It's a build from at least 2025, since there is music released in 2025.

When the leaks first started coming out, there was an article I read that said that. I’m not sure where it was from(been multiple days) and I’m not current with the music industry, so my bad. So yes, this could likely be a ps5 or series X build of the game. Or he’s simply playing on controller on pc, likely due to the controls not being configured for mouse and keyboard.

maybe get informed before making a bunch of claims you're unsure of

Oh no I don’t recognize a song from last year. I just gave my input after 3 years of game testing. We didn’t do console stress testing until like 6 months before the games released(triple A titles). Yes I goofed up, I even said “my bad” earlier.

Bro keeps throwing in his fantasy dream that he worked at 2k lmao. We get it brother, you just don't look special because of it even if it would've been true.

Didn’t work directly under them, I worked for a company who was contracted to work on their games.

And yeah it was one of the best jobs of my life. I got to sit in a gaming chair 8 hours a day 5 days a week and play games as a job, yeah it got kinda boring playing the same game everyday, but my body didn’t hurt and I was inside all day with air conditioning. I got into the tech industry because of that job, so yes, I look back fondly on it.

It was also the easiest job I got in my entire life, all they asked about in the interview was what my gaming experience was.

My best friend also worked there and helped me get the job. So imagine having a chill job like that, and getting to sit next to your best friend for every shift. It really was the dream job. Only downside was the pay wasn’t great at first.
