We're barely a week out from launch, and the deployment of NBA 2K25 update 1.005 took aim at a whole bundle of bug fixes. An earlier hotfix had arrived just after the game went live globally, but this is the first significant update featuring fixes for several user-reported issues. Thankfully, we now have official NBA 2K25 update 1.005 patch notes detailing everything that's been addressed and when the next major update will arrive.
