The game has a big roster of both current and legendary WWE Superstars, letting players step into the shoes of their favorite wrestlers and fight in a many different match types. Beyond the standard matches, the game introduces new gameplay mechanics and features that should improve on WWE 2K24’s gameplay.

When WWE 2K25 Releases In 2025

When Does WWE 2K25 Release?

WWE 2K25 is set to release on March 14, 2025, which is not long from now. However, the exact release time still hasn’t been released, although details regarding global rollout and time zones are likely forthcoming. Normally, games like this get a midnight release, so fans can expect that it will release around midnight in their local time zone. This launch date applies to the standard edition of the game, but pre-ordering lets players take the game home early.

By securing a copy of the Deadman or Bloodline Editions, players can get the game a full week early, starting their wrestling journey on March 7, 2025. This early access provides a considerable head start, letting players get into the game's various modes, create their superstars, and dominate the wrestling ring before the official release date. This early access is not accessible to the standard version, so those who pay for the regular game have to wait.

The early access for WWE 2K25 comes with in-game items and characters, DLC packs, and cosmetic options that should unlock when the full game releases. Basically, the release date of March 14, 2025 will be when regular players can access the new gameplay experience in WWE 2K25. Both editions will likely adhere to a midnight release as stated above.

WWE 2K25 Editions & Pricing Explained

What Comes With The Editions?

WWE 2K25 offers three distinct editions, each offering different bonus content but carrying a higher price tag. Everyone will get the basic gameplay and game offered in the standard edition, priced at $69.99. This is the core game experience featuring Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman on the cover art. This version offers dual-gen compatibility (PS5/PS4 or Xbox Series X|S/Xbox One) and is also available on PC. Any player who just wants the game itself should order this version.

Stepping up to the premium tiers, players can get the Deadman Edition. The Deadman Edition is priced at $99.99 and features The Undertaker on the cover. Pre-ordering the Deadman Edition offers a week of early access, starting on March 7, 2025, instead of the March 14, 2025 release date for the Standard Edition. Beyond the early access, a pre-order also includes WWE 2K24 Edition.

Setting aside preorders, Deadman Edition includes the Undertaker-themed bonus pack featuring MyFaction Persona Cards, a usable Undertaker urn, the Brother Love manager, and an Undertaker '95 mask for The Island mode. It also bundles the Season Pass, granting access to all five post-launch DLC character packs and a Supercharger. The Wyatt Sicks Pack is also included.

Standard Edition	Base Game Wyatt Sicks Pack (preorder only) WWE 2K24 (preorder only)
Deadman Edition	Base Game Deadman Edition Bonus Pack Season Pass Wyatt Sicks Pack 7 Day Advanced Access (preorder only) WWE 2K24 (preorder only)

Finally, the most comprehensive and expensive option is the Bloodline Edition, priced at $129.99. It has all the content from the Standard and Deadman Editions, but adds an extensive array of Bloodline-themed bonuses. This includes MyFaction Persona Cards for various Bloodline members, additional cosmetic items for The Island mode, the Rock's Nation of Domination pack, the WrestleMania 41 Pack, the Ringside Pass (offering a Season Pass, Supercharger, Superstar Mega-Boost, MyRISE Boost, and 100,000 VC), and an additional 32,500 VC (Steam only). The Bloodline Edition also has exclusive access to the Bloodline Dynasty Showcase mode.

WWE 2K25 Cover Star & Platforms

Who Is On The Cover & Where Do You Play?

WWE 2K25 has Roman Reigns on its cover, which makes sense given his important role in WWE right now and the game's focus on The Bloodline. The standard edition shows Reigns with his manager, Paul Heyman, while the Deadman Edition has The Undertaker on the cover. This choice of cover stars is a smart marketing move to attract both new fans who like The Bloodline and longtime fans who have a soft spot for legends like The Undertaker.

Including Roman Reigns, especially in the Bloodline edition, fits perfectly with the game's Showcase mode that centers around The Bloodline. Having Reigns front and center on the cover clearly communicates what the game is about. WWE 2K25 will be available on many platforms. It’s set to be released on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. However, features like The Island, an interactive world to explore, will only be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

WWE 2K25 Pre-Orders & Bonuses

What Do You Get For Buying Early?

WWE 2K25 pre-orders come with a great perk for fans excited to play the new wrestling game. In any version of the game — Standard, Deadman, or Bloodline — preordering will unlock WWE 2K24. For the Standard Edition, preorders also unlock the Wyatt Sicks Pack, which appears to be a permanent inclusion in the Deadman and Bloodline editions. The Deadman and Bloodline Editions, on the other hand, feature the seven-day early access for preorders.

On all systems, the Wyatt Sicks pack features five playable Persona Cards: Uncle Howdy, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, Erick Rowan, and Nikki Cross. On PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, masks of Uncle Howdy and Nikki Cross are also included, but these don't feature in the PS4, Xbox One, or Steam releases. These cosmetics are used for the Island, which is an exclusive feature for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players, allowing them to explore and personalize their MySuperstar.

The pre-order bonus offers great value by giving players access to more characters and customization options right from the start without needing to buy a more expensive edition. Casual players who might not be interested in the higher-priced DLC packs can still enjoy the Wyatt Sicks Pack, adding extra fun even if they don't opt for a premium edition of WWE 2K25.
