NBA 2K21 servers went down Sunday, causing chaos in the game's community as players stormed the servers looking to try out the newly released sports simulator. Although server troubles are outside the hands of players to solve, it can still be helpful to know when the problem is server-side. Here's how to find out if NBA 2K21's servers are down.

NBA 2K21 Servers Down: How to Check

There are two reliable ways to figure out if your connectivity problems with NBA 2K21 are related to your own internet or instead to server troubles on 2K's side. the first is to check the official server status monitor hosted by 2K. That monitor shows the status for Steam, the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live separately. It can also be manually refreshed for up-to-the-minute updates.

The second way to check is by visiting the NBA 2K Downdetector, which aggregates connectivity complaints. Enough complaints in one region or time period often indicates problem on the server side.
