This update should give current-gen players some much-needed reprieve. There have been some issues and bugs swirling around that have had many players frustrated, or simply laughing at how ridiculous some of it has become.

Below are the full patch notes and a breakdown of what players can expect from 2K22 update 1.6.

2K22 patch 1.6 release date & notable updates

The latest 2K22 update is officially live, according to the NBA 2K Twitter account. This is effective as of November 3, 2021.

The notes are brief compared to some others, with the focus primarily on making the Gym Rat badge attainable for current-gen players, as well as making the Rebirth quest work properly.

Additionally, however, there has been an adjustment made that will “tighten collision detection” which should help to improve the game’s realness and give Slashing players some quality of life when driving the paint.

Lastly, now that the NBA season is underway, fans will officially be able to see the Bucks 2020-2021 championship banner hanging in their arena. A nice touch to keep the game feeling fresh and up-to-date.
