After helping lead Team USA to a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Stephen Curry added another iconic moment to his already illustrious career.
From winning two MVPs, four NBA championships, and a Finals MVP, Curry's dominance with the Golden State Warriors ran the league for years and now gamers will get the chance to relive or even rewrite history with the addition of the Steph Era, 2K announced today.
Alongside the Magic vs. Bird Era, Jordan Era, Kobe Era, and LeBron Era, which will all return on New Gen in NBA 2K25, the Steph Era, which begins during the 2016-17 season, captures one of the most dominant stretches in basketball.

“We’re excited for players to customise the MyNBA and MyGM modes in NBA 2K25 to shape the league in their image,” Erick Boenisch, VP of NBA 2K Development at Visual Concepts said.
“Paying respect to arguably the best shooter to ever live, we welcome The Steph Era as another historic NBA Era. The new additions are designed to create a unique world of basketball fully under your control.”
The Steph Curry era brings dynasty to life
The Steph Era in MyNBA will take gamers back to 2016, allowing them to either relive the Warriors' dynasty with Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, and Draymond Green, or take the route of trying to dethrone the dynasty.
The Warriors were a juggernaut in the NBA from their first championship in 2014-15, going on to make the Finals in five-straight seasons, winning two more rings in that span.

They also won an NBA record 73 games during the 2015-16 season, eventually falling short in the NBA Finals to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in seven games, before adding Durant in that offseason in free agency.
After Durant left for the Brooklyn Nets, the Warriors picked up another championship in 2022 — their fourth of the era, with Curry winning his first Finals MVP.
NBA Cup headlines new features in NBA 2K25
Along with the Steph Era, NBA 2K25 is adding the Emirates NBA Cup to the game this year.
The NBA Cup, which debuted as the In-Season Tournament during the 2023-24 season, saw the Los Angeles Lakers emerge as champions in its inaugural campaign.
NBA 2K25 allows gamers to compete in the group stage play, followed by single-elimination knockout.
When is the NBA 2K25 release date?
NBA 2K25 releases on Friday, Sept. 6, 2024.
Fans can begin pre-ordering the game on Wednesday, July 10.
