WWE 2K24

WWE 2K24 is the current entry in Visual Concepts' wrestling series, offering on Xbox Series X/S an extensive selection of match types, from classic one-on-one bouts to multiplayer brawls in cages, on ladders, through tables, or in extreme conditions with foreign objects like chairs and hammers. To mark the fortieth anniversary, the game expanded the legendary Showcase mode, which uses archival footage and recreations of famous WrestleMania matches to guide players through WWE history, and added new modes such as Bloodlines, dedicated to the legendary Anoa'i wrestling family. The MyGM editor lets you run your own show, build match cards, sign wrestlers, and compete with other general managers for ratings, while MyRise offers a story-driven career for your own wrestler, from amateur training through smaller arenas to main-event stardom and championship gold.

On the new generation of consoles, the game benefits from more detailed wrestler models and smoother animations during matches, most noticeable in flashy finishers and interactions with the ring, ladders, or the crowd around ringside. The extensive roster includes both current WWE stars and legends from past decades across the promotion's history, and the expansive Creation Suite lets you design custom wrestlers, arenas, outfits, and entire shows, then share them with the wider community of players.

After some rockier entries at the end of the last decade, the WWE 2K series has returned to higher production quality in recent years, and WWE 2K24 confirms that trend with more polished animations, a more stable technical performance, and broader content than earlier installments. For wrestling fans, it's the most comprehensive show simulation WWE currently offers, with enough content for many long hours of play and a faithful presentation of the atmosphere of major pay-per-view events.

Why play it: Wrestling fans will find in WWE 2K24 the most comprehensive show simulation available, with more polished animations and a faithful atmosphere of major pay-per-view events.
