2K Confirms Major Change in WWE 2K26 From Previous Games

by

2K has revealed that WWE 2K26 is coming soon, along with its release date. A significant change has been made that will likely please some fans, while others may not be thrilled. Because WWE 2K games are released every year, they don’t usually have huge differences between versions. WWE 2K26 appears very similar to WWE 2K25, but there’s one key distinction.

When WWE 2K26 launches in March, it will be available on Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X. However, it won’t be released on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, which is disappointing news for players on those older consoles. On the bright side, this allows the developers, Visual Concepts, to focus solely on the newer platforms. It’s unclear if supporting the older consoles was limiting the game’s potential, but the development team can now dedicate those resources elsewhere. Though, it’s important to remember that simply freeing up those resources doesn’t guarantee the game will be improved.

PS4 and Xbox One Versions

The WWE 2K series hasn’t always pushed technical boundaries or aimed for groundbreaking design. Usually, when sports games stop supporting older consoles, the new versions show a clear improvement. It’s unclear whether the recent changes to WWE 2K are simply overdue updates or a result of dropping support for older consoles – and we likely won’t ever know. Still, the series does need improvement, but our review of last year’s game showed it was heading in the right direction.

The latest installment, WWE 2K26, will be available on March 13th for Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.
