2K Magic Quick Start
1. Install and Sign In
- Exit the old version and install to C:\2KMagic.
- Choose your game: 2K26 is free. For 2K27, choose Card login and enter your current key.
- To use your own account, choose Account / Register. An unexpired key that has no account can register without buying a new key. Its original expiry stays the same.
One key belongs to one account. Already linked keys can use Card login. Do not submit registration or recharge twice.

2. Connect PS5
Check before connecting: Connect your PS5 and PC to the same local network. The PSN Account-ID used for pairing must match the PSN account signed in on the console. Enable Remote Play in console settings. Your app account/card key is separate from your PSN account.
- On PS5 enable Settings → System → Remote Play → Enable Remote Play.
- Edit your instance, select PS5, enter the console IP and obtain your PSN Account-ID.
- Choose Link Device on PS5, enter its code in the app, pair and save.
- Select Connect stream. Confirm the picture and controls work.

Note: Use wired connections where possible. High bitrates need stable bandwidth. Close other Remote Play apps for this console. Network wake requires the PS5 rest-mode networking and wake settings.
3. Connect Xbox
Check before connecting: Connect Xbox and your PC to the same local network. Sign in to streaming with the same Microsoft account used on Xbox. Enable Remote features on the console and pass its remote-play test before connecting the app.
- Enable Settings → Devices & connections → Remote features on Xbox.
- Edit an instance, choose Xbox, save and select Connect stream.
- Follow the Microsoft sign-in window using the account on your console.

Note: Enter Microsoft credentials only in Microsoft's sign-in window. Your app account and card key are separate.
4. Start a Task
Game settings: match these four screenshots
Open the game settings pages named Player Indicator, Shot Meter Shots, Takeover Icon and Shot Feedback, then save the following values.
| Page | Settings |
|---|---|
| Player Indicator | Visibility: On; Graphic: Basketball; Color: Purple; Size: Large. |
| Shot Meter Shots | Visibility for Shots: On; Visibility for Dunks/Layups: On; Visibility for Free Throws: On; Graphic: Tube; Size: Large; Placement: To The Side. |
| Takeover Icon | Style: None. |
| Shot Feedback | Visibility: All Shots; Placement: Top Center; Distance, Timing, Free Throw Rating and Coverage: On. |




Return to the court: confirm the purple basketball marker at your feet, a vertical tube beside your player while shooting, and timing/coverage feedback at the top. Keep these areas clearly visible before starting automation.
Start in the app
- Enter the matching game mode and select the instance in the app.
- Choose Street King / Open Court and the task, then save.
- Connect the stream, then select Start. Stop ends automation; Disconnect stream closes the connection.
| Setting | What to choose |
|---|---|
| Street scoring + rebounds | Choose a distance for your shot package: 0 near the basket, 10 near midcourt. |
| Street assists + rebounds | Choose normal or flashy passing. Both start after crossing halfway and while outside the three-point line. |
| Open Court | Choose two-point, three-point or corner scoring. |
| Lock green | Enable the game's vertical tube meter and the app's lock-green option. Keep the foot marker and meter visible. |
| Fixed shot timing | Disable lock green and adjust the duration for your shot package. |
| Multiple instances / rest | Configure each instance; each needs a console and enough license slots. Set rest rules as needed. |
Note: Keep the Xbox stream window unobstructed. After changing the meter, shot package, resolution or network, observe several shots. Lock green does not guarantee every shot scores.
5. Keys, Recharge and Statistics
Buy a 2K Magic key. The Buy a key button in the app sidebar opens the matching brand's store.
- View card key: Select the instance → View card key → reveal or copy. Keep it private.
- Card recharge: Sign in to the target account or its current key first. Select the instance and redeem one new recharge key. Its time is added to that account.
- Website statistics: Statistics sync after desktop sign-in. Use the same key on the matching website. Allow time for a completed match to sync; unknown VC is not estimated.
- Phone view: Open the statistics entry on an instance row and scan its QR code.
- Invite code: Enter it when first using or recharging a new key. Current campaign rules apply; one key cannot receive a reward twice.
6. Quick Troubleshooting
| Issue | First step |
|---|---|
| Recharge unavailable | Select an instance, sign in with its current key, then choose Card recharge. |
| Valid key fails on website | Update the app and sign in again; verify the website is updated and keep the exact error. |
| No website records | Check the sync status, finish a match, refresh and remove unnecessary filters. |
| Stream stutters | Prefer wired networking, close other streams and check resolution, frame rate and bitrate. |
| Lock green fails | Check that the vertical meter is visible; record the shot and feedback, and include app version and platform. |
| Actions during a 24-second pause | Record the full screen, including both shot clocks. |
