2K Games has shut down the online servers for WWE 2K23. This means that the only way to play a WWE game online is the most recent title: WWE 2K24. The servers for the previous game shutting down means that one of the biggest features of the game – the ability for players to make and share custom creations like pro wrestlers and arenas – will no longer be available.
Other online features, such as multiplayer and the ability to buy DLC, have also been disabled. The publisher had also taken the game offline from digital storefronts back in September, preventing players from buying it in favour of the more recent WWE 2K24.
Going by the release schedule of the yearly WWE titles, we will likely see a new game, presumably dubbed WWE 2K25, in the first half of this year. Were 2K to follow a similar pattern, WWE 2K24 will likely see its servers shut down next year. It seems to be part of a larger trend by the publisher to try and ensure that players can only play the most current version of the game.
