WWE 2K24 Review – Wrestling to Become the Greatest of All Time

As it says in the Bible, “I want to be the very best, like no one ever was.” Could there be a more true passage? I don’t know; I didn’t look. But if you’re here reading this site of tips, tricks, and reviews, you’ve probably felt the urge in your soul to become a champion. There may be billions of people playing video games around the world, but haven’t you ever wondered what it would be like if you - yes, you! - were the best at a game? I’m not talking about getting a high score at a laundromat that resets its Ms. Pac-Man machine every night.

It seems as though WWE 2K24 potentially cut 14 wrestlers from the roster, as evidence of their existence in the game's files has been discovered. The recently-released WWE 2K24 has a massive roster of wrestlers for fans to choose from, from old-school grapplers to modern-day stars. But even though the WWE 2K24 roster is admittedly rather massive and comprehensive, there are still some wrestlers that didn't make the cut for one reason or another.

The new PDP Riffmaster looks like an average guitar controller at a passing glance. In many ways, the $129.99 controller coming out in April is exactly what you expect. But aside from its familiar strum bar, whammy bar, and clusters of colored frets, it has a hardware feature that could make it sought after by a crowd that has no interest in playing music games.

WWE 2K24 has released a brand-new update that users can download right now. WWE 2K24 was released earlier this month to mostly positive reviews, with critics praising the in-ring action and staggering amount of content. However, there is always room for improvement, and as such, developer Visual Concepts has released multiple post-launch updates for WWE 2K24 to address the game's lingering issues.

The holy grail of TV recommendation is almost always a half-hour comedy. It’s not that people don’t want other stuff — a good thriller, weirder horror, or shows that go on forever that you can fold laundry to — but the thing most people I talk to will want at some point and burn through fastest is a half-hour comedy. I would say there’s only so many times you can watch 30 Rock or Seinfeld or Cheers all the way through, but history (and Nielsen ratings) shows that’s not true. And even still, the hunger for a new version of those is always there, particularly when you might have blitzed through one of your comfort sitcoms recently. Which is why it’s so great that you can now watch Girls5Eva on Netflix, and with a new season to boot.

The contents of WWE 2K24's Pat McAfee DLC pack have been confirmed, and it includes names such as Pat McAfee and Boston Connor, among several others. Since the WWE 2K24 Season Pass announcement, fans have been looking forward to the arrival of additional playable Superstars such as The Dudley Boyz, Jade Cargill, Carlito, and The Great Muta, among others. However, one announced pack has caused some controversy for being the vaguest of the bunch.

A WWE 2K24 player recently recreated the legendary Sabu using the game’s character creation suite, but the superstar himself seems less than thrilled at the result. Sabu was a pioneering member of the original Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion, impressing fans with a hardcore style that blended high-flying acrobatics with the brutal use of weapons like steel chairs. He has appeared in numerous wrestling video games over the years, such as ECW Hardcore Revolution, the Legends of Wrestling series, and Backyard Wrestling: Don’t Try This At Home.

New release WWE 2K24 was the best-selling physical game in the UK last week, knocking Final Fantasy VII Rebirth into second. The PS5 JRPG registered an 89 per cent drop in sales compared to its launch week while 2K's newest wrestling entry has debuted better than last year's instalment, with purchases up 26 per cent.

Former WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon remains embroiled in a sexual misconduct lawsuit alleged by former employee Janel Grant. As a result, 2K has decided to partially censor McMahon's face in WWE 2K24, in archival footage featured in the game's Wrestlemania Showcase mode. While McMahon denies Grant's allegations, which include sexual assault and trafficking her to secure wrestling talent, he resigned from WWE as CEO the day after the federal lawsuit was filed.

WWE 2K24 has implemented a hotfix that solved a frustrating issue affecting many Steam users who pre-ordered the game. Additionally, WWE 2K24 just received one of its first updates after releasing on March 8.

WWE 2K24 has just released a new update, making several quality-of-life improvements. Visual Concepts’ last couple of WWE video games have been constantly praised for their refined in-ring action, and WWE 2K24 is continuing this with good reviews so far. Fans who pre-ordered one of the game’s digital deluxe editions could jump into WWE 2K24 a few days ahead of its March 8 release, and now everyone can tag in and see for themselves how this year’s iteration builds on what worked in the past few entries.

WWE 2K24 has partially censored Vince McMahon in its 40 Years of WrestleMania 2K Showcase Mode in the wake of the former chairman’s recent controversies. Earlier this year, ex-WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit accusing McMahon of sexually assaulting and trafficking her. WWE and parent company TKO have since distanced themselves from him, with McMahon stepping down from his position as executive chairman of the company and WWE no longer acknowledging him on its on-air programming.
