Glitched Reality: NBA® 2K21 MyTEAM Season 6 Goes Live

It’s up to the players to discover its secrets

2K has announced the next season of MyTEAM for NBA® 2K21 on PlayStation4 and 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia and PC, featuring mysteries, codes and big rewards.

Here is your hint…. RR3CJ. Can you complete the code? Uncover the mystery? This one will be easy, the rest may not be, Season 6: Glitched Reality is here, and it is up to YOU and the community to discover its secrets. Keep your eyes open. Some of these Glitched Reality mysteries should only be shared with friends; others will benefit the community as a whole. Over the next 6 weeks in MyTEAM some… peculiar, things will happen, but let’s begin with some of the known aspects of Glitched Reality.

For the Level 40 reward, we have the player who has always been known as one of the ‘glitchiest’ in NBA 2K, one of the first glitched player cards ever, and the first Dark Matter Level 40 reward for MyTEAM, J.R. Smith! Joining him are a wide variety of Galaxy Opal player cards. Earn Michael Redd in Unlimited, Rashard Lewis for winning 6 rings in Limited, Billy Cunningham in Ascension, and Fat Lever for reaching 1,250 wins in Single Player Triple Threat. You can also pick up new Galaxy Opals for Jerry Sloan in the Vault, All-Star Julius Randle in Triple Treat Online, and Galaxy Opal Artis Gilmore for reaching Level 33. Let me sum it up this way, there are a full 13-player line-up’s worth of reward Galaxy Opals to earn in MyTEAM Season 6.

One of those is Galaxy Opal Mel Daniels, a 3x ABA Champion, 2x ABA MVP, and YOUR 99 star reward for completing a new Glitched tier in Domination. No typical Galaxy Opal however, Daniels is an evolution card, which will become the first available reward Dark Matter card. So who are you pitting your best line-up against in this Glitched tier? Well, that is for you to discover. Maybe they’re all linked with hyphens? Maybe not. What I can tell you is that City, Earned, and Classic uniforms have been added to MyTEAM, and you can earn them all from this Domination!

The vagueness needs to continue as new markets have also been added to MyTEAM. The new Glitch Market will continue the tradition of hidden markets of previous MyTEAM years…. um, I think I’ve already said too much…. Well, the other market, you know what, I’m sure someone will find it shortly after the Season is launched.

This is too vague! Let’s get into some of the players anyone can add to their collections in MyTEAM this Season. First, evolution Jimmy Butler is available for ALL players, just by entering the Season menu to redeem this Level 1 reward. This card evolves up to Diamond and will kickstart your XP counter this Season. For our Signature Challenge, the one and only Dwyane Wade headlines not only the Season but a new challenge for everyone to compete in. Enter this locker code WADE-SIGNATURE-FLASH for a Free Agent version of Wade* to complete this challenge, or use any of his available cards!

*Requires NBA 2K21. One per 2K account. Locker code expires 5/7/21. Terms apply.

Finally, one more mystery, who will win the Galaxy Opal Tournament? The community has its favourites, and it’s all up to you to vote on @NBA2K_MyTEAM. Decide which player will get a Galaxy Opal card that will be available for all from an upcoming Locker Code!

Stay alert, we can’t wait to see what you find in this Glitched Reality!

Make a Statement with the New Xbox Wireless Controllers: Electric Volt and Daystrike Camo Special Edition

by Navin Kumar, Director of Product Marketing, Xbox

As we continue to expand our collection of Xbox Wireless Controllers, we aim to bring new controller designs to our fans to expand their own. We recognize what speaks to you will differ from other Xbox fans, from exciting, visually appealing designs to features that enhance performance, or both. Today, we’re excited to introduce not one, but two new Xbox Wireless Controllers to add to your personal collection.

Xbox Wireless Controller – Electric Volt

Inspired by the energy and vibrance often found in athletic apparel and sneaker design, the Xbox Wireless Controller – Electric Volt is the newest color in the current generation of Xbox controllers. Electric Volt builds on the same, striking color theme of Shock Blue and Pulse Red but takes it up a notch with a high-energy, yellow resin not yet seen on Xbox hardware. The high-vis yellow top case punches hard against the matte black hybrid D-pad while the white back case adds even more dimension to the design. Textured grip on the bumpers, triggers, and back case help provide greater control through every gaming session. The new Xbox Wireless Controller – Electric Volt will be available for $94.95 AUD beginning May 11 in most Xbox markets worldwide and can be purchased at select retailers, including Microsoft Store. Check your local retailer for product availability in your region. For more product details, visit Xbox.com.

Xbox Wireless Controller – Daystrike Camo Special Edition

The Xbox Wireless Controller – Daystrike Camo Special Edition is the third installment in our Camo series, following the Night Ops Camo and Arctic Camo Special Edition controllers, and first in the latest generation of Xbox controllers. Your favorite Xbox camo takes on a unique, lifestyle twist in this fresh design. With a palette of deep reds, paired with grey and black, Daystrike Camo brings a streetwear vibe to your game. It also includes features standard of the new Xbox Wireless Controllers like the Share button, hybrid D-pad, and textured grip on the triggers. For the first time ever, the Daystrike Camo Special Edition incorporates textured grip across the entire top surface of the bumpers to keep your grip locked in and on target. The Xbox Wireless Controller – Daystrike Camo Special Edition will be available for $99.95 AUD starting May 18 in most Xbox markets worldwide. Check your local retailer for availability.

To celebrate our two new controller designs, Xbox Gear Shop chose Electric Volt and Daystrike Camo as the color inspiration for the first release in the new Xbox Icon Collection, a series of limited-run gear inspired by iconic elements of the brand. The premium, everyday apparel is designed for you to rep your love for all things Xbox in comfort and style. The Electric Volt and Daystrike Camo-inspired apparel will be available in unisex sizes at Xbox Gear Shop beginning April 21. Xbox Gear Shop ships internationally to most countries from the U.S., but as quantities will be limited, be sure to lock yours in before they’re gone for good.

Visit Xbox Gear Shop for the latest official gear and shipping details.

Additionally, our efforts to become more sustainable across the Xbox product lifecycle apply to Xbox Wireless Controllers. With the new Electric Volt and Daystrike Camo Special Edition controllers, we will be incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) resins for the first time in any Xbox hardware. Both controllers will contain a portion of resins made from recycled materials like automotive headlight covers, plastic water jugs and CDs. We expect no compromises from these recycled materials either, as our testing shows the materials provide the same controller durability or performance you have come to expect. We are excited to be taking this next step in our commitment to waste reduction and recycling, while still coming up with innovative new controller designs.

As with all Xbox Wireless Controllers, you can wirelessly connect the Electric Volt and Daystrike Camo Special Edition controllers to devices including Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One with the built-in Xbox Wireless radio. You can also connect to Windows 10 PCs and mobile devices with Bluetooth Low Energy for remote play from your console or cloud gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on the go. Both controllers include the Share button, now standard to our new Xbox Wireless Controllers, to instantly capture screenshots and clips, a USB-C port to play and charge with the Xbox Rechargeable Battery (sold separately), and Dynamic Latency Input for a more responsive and seemingly instantaneous gaming experience. The controllers also include the fan-favorite custom button mapping via the Xbox Accessories app.

In select markets, both controllers come with a 14-day trial for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate so you can discover your next favorite game from over 100 games across console, PC and Android mobile devices from the cloud.

Visit xbox.com, Microsoft Store, or your local retailer for more information.

Jumpless Platformer Get-A-Grip Chip Grappling Hooks onto Nintendo Switch Today

Debuting Eight New Cosmetic Skins also Coming to PC via an Update

NEW YORK — March 25, 2021 — Get-A-Grip Chip, the charming and delightfully challenging 2D platformer from Redstart Interactive, launches on Nintendo Switch today and introduces new challenges as well as unlockable cosmetics on both Switch and PC via Steam.

Chip and Scan-It Janet work happily and efficiently at Battery Bot Manufacturer ROBOCO. An unfortunate accident sends Janet into a scanning frenzy, indirectly resulting in a gaping hole in the factory floor. The poor freshly-assembled Battery Bots plummet into the depths below, and Chip follows in hopes of saving them and helping Scan-It Janet return to their senses. 

While Chip’s lack of legs make jumping impossible, clever use of a head-mounted magnetic grappling hook makes soaring over hazards a snap. Swing over deadly obstacles with a simple, satisfying control scheme that makes planning and reflexes more important than controller mastery. Grapple points across 30 levels on floors with themes like Abandoned and Incinerator, then seek out hard-to-reach platforms and hidden areas.

Rescue more than 200 Battery Bots hiding in devious locations throughout the factory. Discover and complete challenges including escorting all Bots to safety on each floor to unlock eight new skins. Dress Chip up as the vampire-inspired Nos4bot2, the noxious Toxic Assembler, or even the retro-themed Pixel Chip. Become the fanciest grappling guru by competing across the world on per-level leaderboards.

Climb those leaderboards by learning each level’s perilous pitfalls and buzzing blades to a toe-tapping soundtrack by Eva Lawitts’ project Stimmerman. A delightful mix of jazz, hip-hop, surf rock and more makes each cartoon-inspired level an audiovisual treat.

“The Switch fits so well with the design and feel we want players to experience with Chip,” said Vicky Wei, lead level designer at Redstart Interactive. “We hope our PC players will love the new challenges we’ve added for the Switch launch. We can’t wait to see the latest leaderboards!”

“We worked on Get-A-Grip Chip throughout the pandemic and we’ve been very proud to see our efforts bring people joy,” said Vicky Wei, lead level designer at Redstart Interactive. “We hope to brighten even more people’s days as they try to dress Chip up in the adorable outfits we made.”

Get-A-Grip Chip is available now on Nintendo Switch™ and PC via Steam in English and Japanese for $14.99. For more information on Get-A-Grip Chip, please visit the official website, the game’s Nintendo eShop pages (Americas/Japan/Europe + Australia) follow on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and join the Discord.
