Curry, Mitchell and Brunson spotlighted in NBA The Run video game hype
The game’s developers continue to build excitement ahead of its 2026 launch. The three NBA stars — each known for their scoring prowess and on-court leadership — were highlighted by NBA The Run’s creative team as part of a group expected to play key roles in the game’s street-style basketball action. Curry’s deep shooting, Mitchell’s agility and Brunson’s ball-handling are among the traits that developers say will translate into engaging gameplay experiences when the title arrives next year.
NBA The Run is positioned as a fresh take on classic arcade-inspired basketball games, blending fast-paced play with modern NBA licensing and real-player likenesses from around the league. The game is slated for release on major platforms including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
Curry, a multiple NBA champion and former MVP, continues to be one of the most recognizable faces in professional basketball. Mitchell, a consistent All-Star selection, and Brunson, a recent All-Star starter and key leader for his team, add breadth to the game’s playable roster and appeal for fans of current NBA stars.
The increasing focus on real NBA talent in NBA The Run reflects broader trends in the gaming industry, where licensed sports titles continue to seek deeper authenticity and star-driven engagement. Stay tuned for more updates as NBA The Run approaches its launch later this year.
