This wiki's official link stays on the ALPHA place. OUT NOW is a different community that happens to use a similar title. The same reading also found restricted places 131865328142040 and 131845312811302. Restricted does not mean the ALPHA listing was deleted.

A later public index, aligned with the catalog snapshot for 3 Nov 2026, showed about 71,417 players and 110,477,065 visits on the ALPHA place, with 107,319 upvotes, 8,220 downvotes, and 147,889 favorites. Those are snapshots. The Roblox page scrape on 3 Nov 2026 still displayed the sentence "There are currently no running experiences," which has also appeared during earlier closed windows. Do not treat that sentence, by itself, as a permanent shutdown when a same-day index shows a full server.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do codes 100M and RELEASE still work?

On 2 Nov 2026 those two strings were listed as working, with matching coin rewards. This wiki has not redeemed them. Some pages still say the Shop or Store codes control is missing, so treat a missing button as a build difference, not as a typing error.

Which Practical Basketball listing is this wiki about?

The ALPHA experience by Practical's Games, Place ID 80681221431821. A second public place titled OUT NOW belongs to Practical's Physics V2 and is not the listing this site documents.

Is Practical Basketball free to join?

The public game record lists no price to join. Cosmetics and passes can still cost Robux. No pass names or prices are published here.

Are the PC controls final?

No. The official description calls this an alpha, says nothing is final, and tells players that the control list lives in the community server. The charts here are the inputs that more than one written guide agrees on, and they still need a live recheck.
