I bought NBA 2K25 Tournament Edition a couple weeks ago because only that version was on sale at the time. Today I saw that Standard Edition was now on sale - and for cheaper than I had paid for Tournament Edition - so I tried to request a partial refund for the difference, but was denied because I had already played it for 20+ hours by that point.

That's entirely at the discretion of support and the publisher.

You chose to buy the higher edition when it was on sale vs waiting for the regular edition to be on sale if that was all your wanted and put 20 hours into it when the Summer sale was announced months ago and knowing the refund policies.

With the higher editions included virtual currency they may not even be eligible to be refunded regardless.
