NBA 2K16 is officially set to come out Sept. 29, but thanks to a special promotion players who pre-ordered the game can start playing it at midnight on Friday.

The pre-order promotion was for the digital version of NBA 2K16, meaning it was downloaded directly to the player's console and no actual disc was needed to play it.

Now, there is also a new promotion for NBA 2K16 called the "Early Tip-Off Weekend" where customers can actually go to stores starting at midnight Friday morning and purchase a physical copy of the game, iDigitalTimes reports.

To take advantage of this promotion, players will still need to go online and preorder the game. After preordering it, they can head over to their local electronics store and pick it up Friday. Many locations are opening at midnight Friday to get the Early Tip-Off Weekend started.

The official NBA 2K account tweeted there would be thousands of stores that will open at midnight Friday who will sell NBA 2K16.

Gamestop will have 3,600 stores that will open at midnight Friday. They will offer both the regular version of NBA 2K16 and the Michael Jordan Special Edition.

Best Buy is just offering the regular version of NBA 2K16. Players should check with their local store to see if they are participating in a midnight opening.

Walmart will have 2,800 stores opening at midnight Friday. Players should check with their local store to see if they will open at midnight. Walmart might be a good place to go, since most players go to Gamestop or Walmart to get video games and Walmart could have shorter lines.
