What it launched against
NBA 2K17 launched on 16 September 2016, within three weeks of Persona 5, The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt - Complete Edition, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition.

Released around the same time: Persona 5, The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt - Complete Edition, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition.
