NBA 2K27 VC Calculator: VC to USD, every VC price and the cheapest packs
This NBA 2K27 VC calculator converts Virtual Currency to US dollars and back and finds the cheapest mix of packs for any amount. The short answer: there are 7 VC packs, from 5,000 VC for $1.99 to 700,000 VC for $149.99; 1,000 VC cost between 21.4¢ and 39.8¢; 100k VC is $28.96. The NBA 2K26 packs cost the same, but VC never moves between years or between PlayStation, Xbox and PC.

Deluxe Edition, Hall of Fame Pass and Bonus Offers: is the VC a deal?
Each offer’s VC against buying the same VC in packs. Everything else in the bundle is valued at nothing here, so these are the floor, not the verdict.
| Offer | Costs | VC in it | Same VC in packs | What that means |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deluxe Edition instead of Standard | $30.00 more ($99.99 vs $69.99) | 100,000 VC | $28.96 (1 × 75,000 + 1 × 15,000 + 2 × 5,000) | 30¢ per 1,000 VC; early access and MyTEAM / MyCAREER items on top |
| Hall of Fame Pass instead of Pro Pass (Season 1) | $10.00 more ($19.99 vs $9.99) | 15,000 VC | $4.99 (1 × 15,000) | $5.01 left for 10 level skips and the 15% XP boost |
| MyCAREER or MyTEAM Bonus Offer (Season 1, Steam) | $19.99 | 75,000 VC | $19.99 (1 × 75,000) | Same as the console price of the 75,000 pack, so the 2XP coin and items cost nothing extra. Steam’s own VC prices are in-game and we could not read them |
| Pro Pass (Season 1), played to level 40 | $9.99 | Up to 45,000 VC, earned | $13.97 (1 × 35,000 + 2 × 5,000) | Earned through play, not credited at once: the store says “up to” 45k by level 40 |
Editions and passes: Microsoft catalogue (market=US), Steam: Hall of Fame Pass, MyCAREER Bonus Offer and MyTEAM Bonus Offer; Deluxe contents also in 2K’s Edition FAQ.
Worked examples: 100k VC, budgets, top-ups and the Deluxe Edition
How much is 100k VC?
The cheapest basket is 1 × 75,000 + 1 × 15,000 + 2 × 5,000 for $28.96 (100,000 VC, 4 purchases). There is no 100,000 pack; the nearest single pack is 200,000 for $49.99. If you will spend a little more later, 1 × 75,000 + 1 × 35,000 for $29.98 (110,000 VC, 2 purchases) is $1.02 more for 10,000 extra VC in half the checkouts.
50,000 VC
Cheapest: 1 × 35,000 + 1 × 15,000 for $14.98 (50,000 VC, 2 purchases) — 30¢ per 1,000 VC. Ten 5,000 packs would be $19.90.
250,000 VC
1 × 200,000 + 1 × 35,000 + 1 × 15,000 for $64.97 (250,000 VC, 3 purchases). One 450,000 pack is $99.99 — $35.02 more, but it leaves 200,000 VC over, at a better rate per 1,000.
1 million VC
More than the biggest pack holds: 1 × 700,000 + 1 × 200,000 + 1 × 75,000 + 1 × 15,000 + 2 × 5,000 for $228.94 (1,000,000 VC, 6 purchases), 22.9¢ per 1,000 VC. The 700,000 pack on its own is 21.4¢.
A $25 budget
$25 buys 90,000 VC as 1 × 75,000 + 1 × 15,000 for $24.98, leaving $0.02.
Topping up to 120,000 VC with 35,000 VC in the wallet
You are 85,000 VC short. The cheapest top-up is 1 × 75,000 + 2 × 5,000 for $23.97 (85,000 VC, 3 purchases), with nothing left over. (Both numbers are ours, picked to show the sum — not a sourced upgrade cost.)
Is the Deluxe Edition worth it for the VC?
On Xbox, Deluxe is $99.99 against $69.99 for Standard: $30.00 more for 100,000 VC plus early access and items. The same VC in packs is $28.96, so the upgrade’s VC costs about what packs do — worth it only if you want the rest of the bundle. A sale on the Standard Edition (Steam had it at $48.99 when we checked) changes the sum, so compare the two prices you actually see.
Things that change what VC costs you, and where it works
- No trap packs: every bigger pack is cheaper per 1,000 VC than the one below it, from 39.8¢ for 5,000 to 21.4¢ for 700,000 — 46.2% less. That is unlike Apex Coins or Overwatch Coins, where the 1,000-coin pack costs more per coin than the 500 below it. The biggest single jump is 5,000 → 15,000 (16.4% cheaper per 1,000).
- VC does not move between years. 2K Support says you cannot move VC between versions of NBA 2K — including from NBA 2K26 to NBA 2K27. A big pack bought late in the year is worth only what you spend before the next game; the 200,000 pack’s better rate is no saving if half of it is left behind.
- VC is tied to one platform family. 2K Support says it is shared across console generations in the same family, never between PlayStation and Xbox — and PS5 and Xbox Series X|S crossplay does not mean shared progression.
- NBA 2K27 arrives on Windows PC through the Microsoft Store and Xbox app on 16 October 2026. The game comes free with an Xbox copy (dual entitlement), but 2K says the VC wallet is not shared between the Xbox and Windows PC versions. Steam is separate again.
- On PlayStation, a VC pack bought in the store can be cancelled within 14 days only until it is delivered — which happens the next time you launch the game. Once it has been delivered, PlayStation’s policy gives no refund unless it is faulty, and a pack bought in-game is delivered at once.
- 2K Support says bought VC can take a few hours to arrive at busy times. Wait 24 hours before filing a ticket, and keep the receipt and your transaction history: 2K asks for both.
- VC and MyTEAM Points are different currencies. VC works in MyCAREER and MyTEAM; MTP is earned in MyTEAM and spent only there.
- The seven pack sizes and prices are the same for NBA 2K26 on the US PlayStation Store and Xbox, so the calculator answers for last year’s game too — but each game’s VC only works in that game.
How the VC calculator works
- Sourced figures
- The 7 pack sizes and US prices come from the US PlayStation Store listings, checked against Microsoft’s US catalogue. Edition and pass contents come from the same two stores and Steam. The wallet rules (no carry-over between years or platforms, MyCAREER and MyTEAM, delivery delays) come from 2K’s own support site; the refund rule from PlayStation’s cancellation policy.
- VC → USD: the cheapest basket
- Packs only come in fixed sizes, so “what does this cost” means “which packs reach at least this much VC for the least money”. The calculator runs an exact search over every combination (an unbounded knapsack, not “biggest pack first”) in steps of 5,000 VC, the size every pack is a multiple of. On a tie it picks fewer purchases. Beside it, it shows the cheapest single pack that covers the amount.
- USD → VC: the most for a budget
- For a budget it finds the combination that gives the most VC without going over, and shows what is left unspent and the biggest single pack you could buy instead.
- What a balance is worth
- A balance is valued at two pack rates — the best (the largest pack) and the worst (the smallest) — because the same VC costs a different amount depending on which pack it came from.
- What we assume
- Prices are US prices before sales tax, and we assume no limited-time sale on VC is running. We assume the store price is what you pay on PlayStation and Xbox; we did not reach a checkout. The edition and pass comparisons value everything except the VC at nothing, which is our simplification, not 2K’s. The Pro Pass VC is the store’s “up to” figure for reaching level 40, not what an average player earns. Example targets and balances on this page are numbers we picked to show the maths, not sourced upgrade costs.
What we checked on 15 October 2026, and what we could not
We read every price in this tool on 15 October 2026. On the US PlayStation Store, NBA 2K27 has 7 Virtual Currency Packs; each listing’s title and description give the VC (“This currency pack contains … VC”) and its data carries the base price in USD. We work from Poland, so to rule out local pricing we also asked Microsoft’s store catalogue for the 7 Xbox VC products with the market set to US: the same 7 prices to the cent, each with a Purchase action.
We expected the year-old NBA 2K26 packs to be discounted. They were not: the US PlayStation Store and Xbox listed the same sizes at the same prices. Microsoft’s catalogue also has separate “(Windows PC)” VC products for NBA 2K26, which fits 2K’s statement that the Xbox and PC wallets are separate.
For editions and passes we used Microsoft’s US catalogue (Standard $69.99, Deluxe $99.99 with 100,000 VC, Pro Pass $9.99 “including up to 45,000 VC” to level 40, Hall of Fame Pass $19.99) and Steam, which also lists two $19.99 Season 1 Bonus Offers with 75,000 VC each. We did not find those Bonus Offers in the Xbox catalogue. Pre-orders made before 4 September 2026 got 10,000 VC, per 2K’s Edition FAQ — that offer is over.
What we could not check: Steam sells VC inside the game, not as store listings, so we could not read Steam VC prices without buying. We also did not check the Nintendo eShop, any country other than the US, or the VC price of upgrades and items, which change through the season. We did not buy anything.
NBA 2K VC questions, answered
How much is 100k VC in NBA 2K27?
$28.96 at US prices, as 1 × 75,000 + 1 × 15,000 + 2 × 5,000 (4 purchases) — there is no 100,000 VC pack. The nearest single pack is 200,000 VC for $49.99. The Deluxe Edition includes 100,000 VC for $30.00 more than the Standard Edition on Xbox.
How much are VC packs in NBA 2K27?
In the US, before sales tax: 5,000 VC for $1.99, 15,000 VC for $4.99, 35,000 VC for $9.99, 75,000 VC for $19.99, 200,000 VC for $49.99, 450,000 VC for $99.99, 700,000 VC for $149.99. The US PlayStation Store and Microsoft’s US store catalogue listed the same prices on 15 October 2026. Per 1,000 VC that is 39.8¢ in the smallest pack down to 21.4¢ in the largest.
How much VC do you get for $10, $20, $50 or $100?
$10 buys 35,000 VC (1 × 35,000, $9.99); $20 buys 75,000 VC (1 × 75,000, $19.99); $50 buys 200,000 VC (1 × 200,000, $49.99); $100 buys 450,000 VC (1 × 450,000, $99.99). Left unspent: $0.01 of $10, $0.01 of $20, $0.01 of $50, $0.01 of $100.
What is the best value VC pack?
The 700,000 VC pack at $149.99: 21.4¢ per 1,000 VC, 4,667 VC per dollar. Every bigger pack beats the one below it, so the worst is the 5,000 pack at 39.8¢ — 46.2% more expensive per VC. The 200,000 pack works out to exactly 25¢ per 1,000. Bigger only pays if you spend the VC before the next NBA 2K, because it does not carry over.
How much is 1,000 VC worth in USD?
Between 21.4¢ and 39.8¢, depending on the pack it came from — so one VC is a fraction of a cent, and 10,000 VC is $2.14 to $3.98. That is what VC costs to buy, not a resale value.
Are NBA 2K26 VC prices different from NBA 2K27?
No. On 15 October 2026 the US PlayStation Store and Microsoft’s US catalogue still sold the NBA 2K26 packs in the same 7 sizes at the same prices, $1.99 to $149.99. The calculator works for both — but VC bought for one game works only in that game.
Does VC carry over from NBA 2K26 to NBA 2K27?
No. 2K Support’s article on moving VC between years says you cannot move VC between versions of NBA 2K, either between different entries in the series or between console versions of the same game. It is shared only across generations within one console family. Leftover NBA 2K26 VC stays in NBA 2K26.
Is NBA 2K VC shared between PlayStation, Xbox and PC?
No. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S have crossplay, but 2K says NBA 2K27 has no cross-platform progression. On Windows PC (Microsoft Store and Xbox app, from 16 October 2026) the game comes free with an Xbox copy, yet 2K says the VC wallet is not shared between the Xbox and Windows PC versions.
Is VC shared between MyCAREER and MyTEAM?
Yes. 2K Support says VC is earned throughout the game modes and can be spent in MyCAREER (attributes, apparel, animations) and in MyTEAM (packs and more). MyTEAM Points (MTP) are the exception: they are earned in MyTEAM and can only be spent there.
Is the Hall of Fame Pass or Deluxe Edition worth it for the VC?
The Hall of Fame Pass is $19.99, $10.00 more than the $9.99 Pro Pass, and adds 15,000 VC — worth $4.99 as a pack — plus 10 level skips and a 15% XP boost. The Deluxe Edition’s 100,000 VC would cost $28.96 in packs against a $30.00 upgrade on Xbox. On Steam, the $19.99 MyCAREER and MyTEAM Bonus Offers each include 75,000 VC, for the same price as the 75,000 VC pack on PlayStation and Xbox, with extras on top.
Can you get a refund on NBA 2K VC?
On PlayStation, VC is an in-game consumable: bought in the store, it can be cancelled within 14 days only until it is delivered, which happens when you next launch the game; once delivered, there is no refund unless it is faulty, and VC bought in-game is delivered immediately. If bought VC has not arrived, 2K Support says to wait — it can take a few hours — and to file a ticket after 24 hours with the receipt and your transaction history.
