To start, the new game will launch as a beta version. The NBA game will now be offered alongside the studio's MLB and football-themed NFT games. As part of the new game launch, the NBA announced a multi-year partnership with Sorare, making the NFT marketplace the league’s first official NFT fantasy partner. Sorare states that all 30 NBA teams will be available in the game and that the [NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/talon-esports) themselves will represent specific NBA players from each team. Gamers will be able to create their own five-player lineups and compete in tournaments against other players. Their custom-built teams will then collect points depending on the real-world performances of their players.
