The publisher of the NBA 2K video game paused all online game activity for two hours Thursday in honor of George Floyd and his memorial service.
Online play was paused from 2-4 p.m. ET while Floyd’s service took place in Minneapolis, and it was an incredible moment of support for the “Black Lives Matter” movement to end racism and police brutality.
The Neighborhood, a game mode where players can interact with one another, remained open and players were given access to free “Black Lives Matter” and “I can’t breathe” T-shirts for their avatars to wear — players are normally required to buy clothing if they want to upgrade from the standard outfit the game gives you to start off.
