WWE 2K25
WWE 2K25 is a professional wrestling sports video game developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K. It is the twenty-fifth overall installment of the video game series based on WWE, the eleventh game under the WWE 2K banner, and the successor to WWE 2K24. It was released on March 14, 2025 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, was released on Nintendo Switch 2 on July 23, 2025, and was released on Android and iOS on October 4, 2025 by Netflix Games.
The game received generally favorable reviews, with critics praising incremental improvements such as chain wrestling and other additions across its modes, although criticizing its new "The Island" mode (modeled after "The City" from sister franchise NBA 2K) for being underdeveloped and overemphasizing character upgrades purchased via microtransactions.
WWE 2K25 largely builds on the mechanics of its predecessor, including the returning "Chain Wrestling" mechanic, the new "Giant" class of wrestler (which have an additional life bar that must be drained before they are able to take damage), and new gimmick match modes such as "Underground" and "Bloodline Rules" (a no-disqualifications match inspired by the WrestleMania XL night 2 main event, which gives the wrestlers an ability granting up to three run ins who stay in the ring after they've been summoned). 2K25 is the first entry in the WWE 2K franchise to support intergender matches since WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009.
The Showcase mode is themed around The Bloodline and the Anoaʻi family, highlighting members such as Rikishi, Roman Reigns, Tamina Snuka, The Usos (Jimmy and Jey), and Yokozuna. MyFaction, MyGM, and Universe mode also make returns, with GM adding support for online simulation matches, and Universe reinstating support for promos. The MyRise campaign mode, entitled "Mutiny", follows a group of NXT wrestlers, known as "Mutiny", attempting to take over Raw and SmackDown for control of WWE. A new mode known as "The Island", which is exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, is an online PvPvE mode modelled after "The City" from recent NBA 2K games, which takes place in a Samoa-inspired setting and uses players' custom wrestlers.
During the Raw premiere on Netflix on January 6, during a segment with Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman, WWE 2K25 was teased after Reigns told Heyman of his plans of having a massive platform to "acknowledge" the entire world as the "Tribal Chief", following his victory over Solo Sikoa in a Tribal Combat match, on January 27. On that aforementioned date, on an episode of Raw, Heyman revealed that Reigns would be the cover star for WWE 2K25. 2K then released a trailer the following day showcasing gameplay, special edition game covers, and upcoming dates for pre-orders.
On February 6, IGN released the first full gameplay trailer.
WWE 2K25 was released on March 14, 2025; pre-order bonuses included a digital copy of WWE 2K24, and five Wyatt Sicks persona cards for MyFaction. Two deluxe versions were also announced: the "Deadman Edition" includes the pre-order bonuses and additional content and cosmetics related to The Undertaker, while the "Bloodline Edition" is a superset of the Deadman Edition that includes additional The Bloodline and WrestleMania 41-themed content, and provided early access to the game beginning March 7.
On July 1, 2025, 2K announced that a Nintendo Switch 2 version would be released on July 23, 2025, making 2K25 the first mainline WWE game to release on a Nintendo platform since WWE 2K18, as well as the first on a Nintendo platform in general since WWE 2K Battlegrounds.
