Recently, Xbox unveiled some exciting screenshots from the anticipated WWE 2K25 game, showcasing possible playable stars like CM Punk, Damien Priest, Liv Morgan, and Cody Rhodes. While we’re still waiting on official roster announcements, these sneak peeks have certainly stirred up the gaming community. Following the pattern of previous releases—WWE 2K24 launched in March 2024—fans are speculating that WWE 2K25 might drop around the same time in 2025.
Beyond the tease of the in-game roster, there’s been plenty of chatter concerning who might grace the cover this time. Historically, WWE titles have featured legends such as Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, alongside more recent icons like Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair. A few leaks from the Steam page suggest a potential cover star, but so far, Xbox’s Twitter account remains our primary source of confirmed info.
In a celebratory nod to WWE RAW’s new presence on Netflix, the official Xbox Twitter shared screenshots highlighting updates like fresh attires and improved character models for Cody Rhodes, Damien Priest, Liv Morgan, and returning fan-favorite CM Punk. Players couldn’t help but notice how much Cody Rhodes’ character likeness has advanced, while also appreciating the authentic representation of Liv Morgan. Although the screenshots didn’t confirm if WWE 2K25 will be part of Xbox Game Pass, this announcement still left players abuzz with excitement.
Currently, we know that CM Punk, Damien Priest, Liv Morgan, and Cody Rhodes are expected to be part of WWE 2K25’s lineup, which hints at a dynamic roster. Despite the lack of official details, fans hope their favorites, including new talents like Bloodline members Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga, will join the fray. Meanwhile, the wrestling world’s shifts, featuring new arrivals and notable departures, are adding layers to these hopes and discussions.
Even though the announcement came via Xbox, the game is slated for release on PlayStation and PC as well. However, it’s still uncertain whether WWE 2K25 will be exclusive to current-gen consoles. WWE Games’ Twitter also provided a link directing fans to a wishlist page, listing logos for Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam. As anticipation builds, expect to hear more concrete updates, particularly on January 28, 2025.
WWE video games have long been a staple for wrestling fans, offering the perfect mix of over-the-top action that’s best enjoyed with friends. 2K Sports began steering the franchise towards a more realistic, simulation-centric experience in 2013. After a rough patch with the infamous WWE 2K20, the series has gradually regained its footing, promising to deliver a solid wrestling gaming experience once more.
