Key Information about WWE 2K25

A total of 25 main series video games themed to WWE have been released, starting in 2000. The first three titles were branded as WWF Smackdown! and came out before WWF had to change its name to the current WWE owing to a trademark dispute with the World Wildlife Fund.

All games since the fourth have featured ‘WWE’ in their name. WWE 2K25 is the eleventh instalment to have the ‘WWE 2K’ title and is the successor to the previous game, WWE 2K24. It’s compatible with the following consoles and operating systems:

● PlayStation 5

● PlayStation 4

● Xbox Series X/S

● Xbox One

● PC

The single-player and multiplayer game was developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K Games. It had two release dates: 7 March saw the release of its ‘Bloodline’ and ‘Deadman’ special editions, while 14 March was when the standard and deluxe editions (with Roman Reigns on the cover) came out.

The two editions that were released early included early access (now expired) along with bonus characters and more. The ‘Bloodline’ edition also came with some cosmetic items to use on the game’s Island location for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles.
