The Best WWE 2K game currently available on Steam Unfortunately WWE 2K 24 has already been removed from sale... so this will probably be removed from sale sometime next year. If you like the WWE games, I would recommend getting it while you still can. Story mode (My Rise) The main reason I would recommend getting this game is that while other aspects of this game will come back in later iterations (WWE 2K 26 is basically the same game in most respects) the "My Rise" story modes are unique to each title and this one is the best in my opinion. Rather than the two paths available (face and heel) in 2K 26, this has three different personalities... and you play through the story as two different characters simultaneously who can have the same or different personalities. You also get different stories depending on which WWE superstars you choose as allies (just don't choose Drew McIntyre because his questline is extremely frustrating and sometimes bugged) and as you can imagine, this adds a LOT of replay value. In fact, I played through the story mode THREE TIMES and I am planning to do it again since I haven't seen everything yet. (Fortunately it has New Game +). https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3795290453 One of the things I really like about this game is that the renegade ending is actually much better than I expected it to be. The last time I remember being this pleasantly surprised by the secondary ending was with Saint's Row 3. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3804454468 The one problem with the story mode (in common with all the WWE 2K games) is that it can get kind of annoying to complete some of the purely arbitrary match objectives needed to advance... and if you choose Drew McIntyre, this will reach its apex with a match objective which is almost impossible... and is sometimes bugged which means you might have to exit (to neutralize the bugs) and replay it over and over again until you get lucky. I did it eventually but I don't recommend choosing Drew McIntyre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhW830LEvww Even if you skip Drew McIntyre however, there is a wealth of content in this story mode so I felt like it was a much better value than the My Rise mode in 2K 26. Graphics and Character Creator This game is a slight improvement on 2K 24 (no longer available for purchase) and looks just as good as 2K 26. As a man, I honestly feel like the girls in here are the hottest characters in gaming because they look the most like real people AND some of them look very physically fit and strong such that they could literally survive the Stone Age. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3787901691 As with the other WWE 2K games, the character creator is very deep and it also links to the Community Creations section which not only allows you to share your own creations but also to download characters made by other people. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3792510328 Business Model I'm not a fan of the cancerous "My Faction" lootbox-based live-service mode (which will definitely get killed after 2K 27 comes out as the "My Faction" mode for 2K 24 is already nonfunctional) but at least the business model for this game is better than that for 2K 26 which is probably why it has a better user-rating. This game does NOT use a "Battle Pass" system (unlike 2K 26 which does) and a lot of the things that are locked behind the cancerous live service modes in WWE 2K 26 are unlocked by simply playing the game in 2K 25. For instance, I unlocked the unique character "The Manifestation" in this game by simply playing through the "My Rise" story mode". In contrast, unlocking the same character in 2K 26 required getting lucky with random lootboxes. Remote Play Together One thing I really like about this game (as well as WWE 2K 26 and 2K 24) is that Remote Play Together actually works... at least if the host has a good internet connection. (In my case, it works when I host but NOT when my bro does.) This really adds value to the game since it allows you to play coop in Tornado Tag against the computer. (For some weird reason you can't do that in normal online play) and that feature will keep the game alive in multiplayer even after they inevitably remove it from sale and kill the servers after 2K 27 comes out. (WWE 2K 24 is removed from sale but you can still play it with a friend via local multiplayer or Remote Play Together.) Roster I actually like the roster for this game better than that for the successor 2K 26 because that game removed some of the the best-looking characters (like Cora Jade) as well as some of the characters with the best theme music (like Carlito). The roster for this game really is impressive and you can add to that with infinitely many custom characters and downloaded characters as noted earlier. Music A lot of this music is good IMHO (I especially like Carlito's theme track) and you can choose what music will show up in menus, loading screens, etc. by choosing which tracks to play if you go to "Jukebox" in the main menu. This is a really cool feature which I really wish was in more games. Conclusion This is a great game. So much so in fact that even if you haven't watched wrestling in years like me, this might draw you in. As someone who sunk a LOT of time into Tekken, Soul Calibur, etc. I've found that I like this series much better and this title is the best one based on the three I've tried (2K 24, 2K 25, and 2K 26.)
After 2K Sports decided to introduce a Ring/Scamside Pass for WWE 2K26, effectively replacing content that had been an integral part of the game for years with a grinding system, I had no choice but to buy its predecessor, 2K25, which I had originally planned to skip after not playing 2K24. (The last one I played was 2K23.) Let me preface this by saying that buying 2K25 after 2K23 was definitely worth it for me! As a classic wrestling fan of over two decades, I can say that WWE 2K25 is the best WWE 2K game in the entire series and plays better than any of its predecessors—mind you. Since the WWE 2K22 reboot, each WWE 2K game has built upon the previous one. The three WWE 2K games—WWE 2K23, WWE 2K24, and WWE 2K25—are the best of the modern era. With the new WWE 2K26, which introduced the Ringside Pass and is increasingly ruining the entire series with microtransactions, WWE 2K24 or WWE 2K25 are the only viable alternatives in 2026 for anyone wanting to play modern WWE games. The improvements over its predecessors are primarily the minor gameplay mechanics in the matches, such as the return of intergender matches since WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2009, and some gimmick matches that have been added (Ambulance and Casket, already in 2K24, and the Bloodline match in 2K25). Of course, the game also has many negative aspects, such as the numerous MyFaction Persona characters, which are marked with many "???????"s on all selection screens and are a constant annoyance, reminding the player that even though they bought the most expensive edition, they still don't have all the content. These methods are a recurring nuisance when clicking through the many wrestlers. Otherwise, the Showcase mode is a mixed bag. This story is narrated by wrestling promoter and legendary manager Paul Heyman, who has accompanied cover star "Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns in recent years. One of the best gimmicks of modern WWE, no doubt. Unfortunately, the Showcase mode featuring the family of Roman Reigns and The Rock was rather lackluster, and most of the matches were pure fantasy. I would have much preferred real matches from Roman Reigns' Bloodline between 2020 and 2024, rather than this fantasy scenario. Also, all the matches, except for the Tamina Money in the Bank ladder match, were incredibly easy to play. The ladder match, on the other hand, was a nightmare, requiring what felt like 20 restarts. Paul Heyman nicely explained the intros for each match and wrestler, using old video clips. Also, all the matches, except for the Tamina Money in the Bank ladder match, were incredibly easy to play. The centerpiece of this WWE 2K game, as in its predecessors since WWE 2K23 (especially since it was more like a demo in WWE 2K22), is the MyGM or General Manager mode. Here, you can choose one of seven brands (RAW, SmackDown!, NXT, NXT 2.0, WCW, ECW, or NXT Munity) and then select your preferred manager (including Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman). This mode has been enhanced with numerous new features and offers the most long-term enjoyment, thanks to the game's excellent Creation Suite. This mode allows you to choose one of seven brands (RAW, SmackDown!, NXT, NXT 2.0, WCW, ECW, or NXT Munity) and then select your preferred manager (including Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman). Many smaller new features have made this mode more in-depth, and it offers the most long-term enjoyment thanks to the game's excellent Creation Suite. ... Here's my pros and cons list: Pros: +Huge roster +Many wrestlers look very realistic +Very realistic entrances +Huge selection of matches +Creation Suite (arena, show, matches, custom wrestlers, alternative outfits, etc.) +MyGM (better than in 2K23-24, more match types) +MyGM draft music has been top-notch since 2K22 +Hollywood Hogan and the nWo (since 2K22) are always included +The sound editor allows you to integrate alternative wrestling themes or even other soundtracks on PC (including themes from SmackDown Here Comes The Pain, for example) +Many different referees in the game (including referee legend Charles Robinson) +Football can be thrown +Most legends look great +You can easily add many missing arenas (RAW Is WAR '98, SmackDown 2000, etc.) Download and integrate your own Ruthless Aggression Era (SmackDown and RAW) characters from the past via Community Creations +Lex Luger, D'Lo Brown, The Rock '01, Stone Cold 2000, and Roman Reigns have super realistic character models this year that really stand out +Hulk Hogan has many alternate outfits (WrestleMania 3, WrestleMania 6, WrestleMania 9, 2002 Hulk Still Rules and WCW/nWo Hollywood Hogan) +Kevin Nash and Scott Hall have alternate outfits (they've been around since 2K22, but still) +Rockhouse nWo Theme +Eric Bischoff as GM +As in previous games, you can add custom GMs in GM Mode, essentially bringing back Kurt Angle as a General Manager; he was last available as a GM in WWE 2K23 +No ringside pass nonsense like in 2K26 +It's not WWE 2K26 +Alundra Blayze is back +Intergender Matches +Exhibition Matches and gameplay are as smooth as they've been in years Not +AI is very good this year (less dumb) +Ruthless Aggression Era Kane +Rhea Ripley has a top-notch character model +Super extensive roster of modern wrestlers and legends +Legends can still be unlocked in-game via accelerators or VC, unlike in WWE 2K26 where they were unlocked behind a Ringside Scam Pass. +Highlight Heel/Photo Mode is great again this year. +Jey Uso (Entrance) Neutral +-User-created rendered photos are completely bugged this year (they're too small in the title settings, or shifted too far down in the Superstar settings; however, everything is fine in wrestler selection or MyGM mode). +-Hulk Hogan in the 1980s looks better than in 2K23, but still unrealistic; the beard is the only improvement. +-Commentary from Michael Cole, Byron Saxton, and Corey Craves is okay, but no comparison to the legendary Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler, or Michael Cole's earlier commentary with Tazz on SmackDown! (2001-2006) +-Becky Lynch has a significantly better character model than in WWE 2K23 (which was terrible) through 2K24, but her 2K22 character model is still unmatched... +-The MyRise story is quite funny in places, but too short. -Negative -Community Creations: No crossplay -Bret Hart still looks incredibly unrealistic; his hair is a disaster. -The servers are always shut down after two years, while WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2008 is still playable online on Xbox... -Universe mode is so sterile and boring; please bring in story designers from WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2010 to WWE 2K14 -No story designer -Some wrestlers don't have correct photos (Alundra Blayze '94, Triple H '14, Becky Lynch '17) -Hulk Hogan 2002 still has the wrong rendered photo -Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns from the Tribal Chief/Head of The Table Era (2020-2024) don't have a shared entrance (Roman Reigns '22). Only the OTC Roman Reigns, who's been in the game from the beginning (essentially the 2025 version), has the entrance that the previous version should have had... -Crowd sounds are still bad -Undertaker '91 is simply the modern Undertaker with a very poor reskin/cosplay of his younger self... Conclusion: WWE 2K25 will probably remain the last truly good WWE 2K game in the entire series, because the 2K games are now With the Ringside Pass being introduced as a paid free-to-play system, and all they want is your money, WWE 2K25 will be the last WWE game worth playing. You're not missing anything in 2K26 anyway, except for the ragdoll system, which gets boring after one or two plays. You might as well play Garry's Mod for that. The Roman Reigns/Bloodline Showcase is good, the roster is great, and if you like GM Mode, you'll definitely be able to enjoy this game for many years without needing a sequel. The game includes all the most important wrestlers if you're into the WCW/WWF/E era from 1996 to 2024. Personally, I see WWE 2K25 as a worthy conclusion to the WWE 2K series. 9/10
