Permanently benched
Without any prior notice, Saber Interactive has removedNBA Playgroundsfrom all digital storefronts. The delisting was noticed bya Reddit userfor the eShop version before confirming it had disappeared from each digital shop. I suppose the reasoning has to do with poor critical reception and the sequel,NBA 2K Playgrounds 2, just launching.
While I’m not sure many people will be sad, the lack of any notification for the decision is very troubling. Were sales so low for the original that Saber didn’t think to inform anyone of the removal? Even the DLC for the firstNBA Playgroundsis gone, which means if you had just purchased the main title this week and wanted the add-on, you’re SOL.
