Questions
All questionsIs it safe?
The launcher signs you in through Discord's and Steam's own sign-in pages, so Archive Network never sees your passwords. Windows may show a warning the first time you open the installer: choose More info, then Run anyway.
What is Network Pass?
Network Pass is optional: it helps keep the servers running and adds weekly rewards, priority queues and more. Everything it includes is listed in the launcher.
Is Archive Network affiliated with 2K?
No. Archive Network is an independent, fan-run service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by 2K, the NBA or any game publisher.
