Get Ready to Tee Off: Summer Drive - Everything You Need to Know

Pack your bags, lace up your kicks, and grab your shades – it’s time for Summer Drive! This is NBA 2K Mobile’s featured summer event, packed with exclusive rewards, brand-new game modes, and a ton of ways to play. Whether you’re here for the competition, the grind, or the glory, we’ve got the answers to keep you moving down the Drive Map.

What is Summer Drive?

Think of it as your summer road trip, but with basketball. Summer Drive is a limited-time event (August 26th - September 16th) where you’ll:

  • Make progress through the Drive Map and complete objectives to earn Ace Tokens.

  • Play in two new themed modes, Par FORE the Court and Full Court Shootout

  • Spend Tee Off Tickets to enter Full Court Shootout and rack up Eagle Tokens.

  • Redeem your event currencies for exclusive Summer Drive rewards

New Game Modes: Fresh Ways to Play

Par FORE the Court

Basketball meets golf in this one-of-a-kind challenge. Each “hole” is a scoring challenge – stay under par to keep your momentum going and unlock new courts. Just like golf… if golf had dunks.

Full Court Shootout

Think you’ve got range? Step into a multi-round shootout where every round gets tougher. Hit your shots, stay under the score cutoff, and advance until you’re the last one standing.
