Since its initial launch, WWE 2K25 had received mixed feedback primarily due to various bugs and glitches that affected the gaming experience, similar to challenges experienced with other video games upon their releases. Previous patch efforts, like Patch 1.03 and Patch 1.04, had worked on other issues involving MyRise, but the latest patch focuses on broadening stability across multiple game modes.
In an interview with WWE Deutschland, new NXT star Jordynne Grace shared her excitement about her inclusion in the game and made a humorous comment regarding fan expectations. “It’s so insane that I’m going to be in WWE 2K25. I didn’t even know I was gonna be in the game, first of all. I didn’t know until that graphic dropped. I didn’t expect it because I joined WWE so late. I just joined this year, and I had done motion capture in the past. So, the only thing I can think of that they were able to get me in the game so quickly is that they actually used my scan from when I did someone else to put me in,” she said, adding a light-hearted touch by jokingly requesting fans, “But I do know that when I’m in the game, if someone doesn’t make the Patrick Star outfit and put me in it, that’s a mistake.”
Community engagement has been a significant part of the feedback loop for WWE 2K25, with gamers expressing their concerns through various forums and social media platforms. Notable figures in the gaming community have also been vocal about the improvements seen in Patch 1.06. A popular community member noted the importance of these fixes, saying, “Patch 1.06 has responded to many of our concerns, and it’s reassuring to see that 2K is committed to enhancing the player experience. It’s evident that they are listening to feedback.”
Patch 1.06 signifies 2K’s ongoing commitment to maintaining the WWE 2K franchise's quality. Fans can expect further updates and improvements as 2K continues to engage with its player base about gameplay stability and feature enhancements. The first DLC pack for WWE 2K25 is slated for release in May, which will likely introduce new content and characters to the game, generating further excitement among players.
With WWE 2K25 now available on platforms including PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC, players can enjoy an enhanced gaming experience thanks to the rapid updates the developers are implementing. The gaming community will surely be watching closely for future patches and content updates from 2K as they strive to enhance the title further.
