MyTEAM Cross-Progression enables all MyTEAM points, tokens, cards and progress to be shared across the current and next generation versions of NBA 2K21 within the same family of consoles; Thanks to the shared VC wallet, all earned or acquired VCs are available in the version of NBA 2K21 for the current as well as for the next generation within the same console family.

When it comes to price, 2K Games is one of the first publishers to publicize a "next-gen premium." So far there have been indications, including from Sony boss Jim Ryan, that the prices for next-gen games could be higher, but this has not been confirmed - until now.
