WWE 2K25 has many wrestlers coming via DLCs in the next few months, and it’s a shame if it skips out on one popular TNA wrestler.

WWE 2K25’s Update 1.07 Patch has just gone live, and it features a wealth of bug fixes and gameplay tweaks across the board. The new NXT Championship and NXT Women’s Championship title belts have been added for use in standard WWE 2K25 exhibition matches, along with the Saturday Night’s Main Event arena. MyGM players can now have their female superstars compete for the Women’s midcard championships on Raw, Smackdown, and NXT.

WWE 2K25’s New Update Adds Titles, Arenas, and Gameplay Fixes

The new WWE 2K25 update also implements stability and performance fixes all around, with much of the alternations being centered around the game’s camera functions, the character and arena creation suites, and gameplay modes like MyGM and Universe. Multiple WWE 2K25 superstars have had their entrance videos updated to reflect their appearances on WWE programming, and players can now track the win/loss records of wrestlers in Universe mode.

WWE 2K25 will certainly get more updates in the future, especially with its first DLC content pack set to be released on May 14. This first round of new playable characters will be centered around up-and-coming superstars, along with a special celebrity guest that rumors claim will be Travis Scott. More DLC characters and updates will follow in future months, but for now WWE fans are taking advantage of the new WWE 2K25 update as they wait anxiously for next weekend’s WrestleMania event.
