NBA 2K23‘s MyCareer mode offers a unique opportunity: the Rebirth quest. Completing this quest allows you to create a new character while preserving your progress. The key to unlocking Rebirth lies in Ronnie 2K, an NPC scattered throughout the City.
Finding Ronnie at various locations across the City triggers different rewards. Each encounter grants you a valuable prize, culminating in the coveted Rebirth ability at the quest’s end.
This guide will guide you to conquering Ronnie 2K’s Rebirth quest. We’ll detail his locations throughout the City, explain the rewards you’ll earn, and even offer solutions to common quest glitches.
How to unlock Ronnie 2K’s Rebirth Quest?
Rebirth allows you to initiate a new MyPlayer Build without impacting your progress. However, what makes Rebirth a difficult quest to complete is the grind you must make to reach a 90 OVR with your MyPlayer.
To complete Ronnie 2K’s Rebirth quest, you must find and complete all the requirements in four locations on the map to earn multiple prizes for unlocking.
Below, we have given all the map locations where you can find Ronnie 2K in the city.
Location #1 (65 OVR)
Once you reach a 65 overall rating, head to the city’s northeast side using the fast travel method. You will find Ronnie near the Northside Knights headquarters, on the left side of the Knights Station icon. Ronnie will be wearing a pink hoodie and surrounded by people near the dumpster. Speak with him to get a Ronnie 2K & Sophie t-shirt.
Location #2 (75 OVR)
For the second location, you need to go southwest of the City with a 75 rating; you will find East Mall Station there. Once you get to the location, you will find Ronnie near the Embellish store opposite of Specs.
Location #3 (88 OVR)
To find him for the third time, you must be at 88 over your rating. After that, you need to head to the city’s northwest part to North Station. Ronnie is standing at the 2K Sports Building just northwest of the first location. When you find Ronnie for the third time, he will give you the ability to free roam and play shirtless.
Location #4 (90 OVR)
Reaching a 90 rating is the final requirement of the questline. When you hit that high rating, make your way to the South City Vipers to speak with Ronnie 2K one last time to end his Rebirth quest.
How to use Rebirth Character in NBA 2k23?
Upon completing all the requirements and reaching the required 90 OVR, you can create another MyPlayer in the available slot, and as you create one, a Rebirth prompt pops up on the screen, asking you where to place your Rebirth Character.
Each Rebirth player gets access to 25 Badge Points, Initial Max 90 OVR, all prizes from previous gameplays, and boosted core badge challenge progression. Essentially, this is a kind of NG+.
Select “YES” and create a new Build for your character. Once all the cutscenes are over, you’ll be taken to your Crib, where you’ll start your MyCareer mode with all already unlocked features.

You will gain the following rewards for completing the rebirth quest in NBA 2k23:

Ronnie 2k Rebirth Quest Not Working Fix
Some players have reported having issues finding Ronnie either in the first location or in any of the locations in between. If you face a similar issue, we have some fixes for you.
If you are having difficulty finding Ronnie in the first location, it will be because your overall rating is below 90. Check your rating; if you’re at 90 or above, you will always find Ronnie in the first location mentioned above.
If you are facing trouble finding Ronnie in either of the locations in between, it might be because you skipped the previous location. Go through all the previous locations in the same order, and you will find him. If you still cannot find him, uninstall and reinstall the game. But before you uninstall the game, make sure to create a backup and save it on the cloud so you don’t lose your progress.
