The latest WWE sim was well received on release and is regarded as one of the series’ best in recent years. Nevertheless, there are still improvements to be made in some areas and 2K are actively working to make WWE 2K23 as good as it can be.

The new patch includes changes to gameplay, AI behaviour, and overall stability across the game’s various modes.
