WWE returned to releasing video games annually via WWE 2K22 following the disaster that was WWE 2K20. The studio took a step back and realized the series needed a soft reboot. Here we are three years later and WWE’s 2K games are back to their best. On March 14, 2025, we find out if it can keep that momentum going as WWE 2K25 comes to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and last-gen consoles.

If all you want from your copy of WWE 2K25, then go for the standard edition. Even that comes with a little extra if you pre-order the game as 2K has revealed its Wyatt Sicks pack is a pre-order bonus. Not only does that include all five members of the group as playable characters, but it also comes with Uncle Howdy and Nikki Cross masks to equip your character with while traversing The Island.
If you’re willing to pay a little more there are the Deadman and Bloodline editions of WWE 2K25. As per usual, the more expensive editions of the next WWE game will get you access to all of the game’s DLC as it is released throughout the year. You will also be able to start playing from March 7, a full week earlier than those with the standard edition.
The Bloodline edition technically comes with the season pass too even though there’s a cross in the table above. It’s a part of the Ringside Pass which also comes with a MyRise boost and more virtual currency.

WWE 2K25’s Last-Gen Version Won’t Have The Island
One of the big new selling points of WWE 2K25 is The Island. The Island is an interactive map players will be able to move around to challenge other players and complete missions. You will also be able to unlock cosmetic items to wear on The Island. However, if you plan on playing WWE 2K25 on anything other than PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, there’s some bad news.
Confirmed via the 2K Support page for WWE 2K25, The Island will be a PS5 and Xbox Series X|S exclusive feature. It has likely been left out of the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game due to the last-gen consoles not being able to handle it. However, it’s unclear why the PC version won’t have The Island and might mean WWE 2K25 on PC is the last-gen version of the game rather than the current-gen one.
