Can old gen 2K23 play with new gen 2K23?

The answer to this question is no, as NBA 2K23 does not feature a cross-platform/crossplay option between PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC, meaning that players on old gen consoles cannot play with those on new gen consoles. This means that PS4 and Xbox One players will not be able to play with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S players in NBA 2K23.
