The alphanumeric string provides access to a specific installment of a professional basketball simulation game on a particular home gaming console via electronic distribution. It allows a user to download and install the title without requiring a physical disc. As an example, upon purchasing such an item from a retailer, the purchaser receives this sequence which is then redeemed through the console’s online marketplace.
This method of distribution offers immediate availability and eliminates the need to wait for shipping or visit a physical store. Furthermore, digital ownership ties the game license to an individual’s account, allowing for convenient re-downloading and installation across multiple devices associated with the same account. Historically, this form of software distribution has become increasingly prevalent due to its convenience and the growing bandwidth capabilities of home internet connections.
