WWE 2K23 Patch Improves AI, Online Stability, Rivalries, and More

A new patch is available for WWE 2K23, addressing several issues with Visual Concepts’ wrestling title. Along with polishing several Superstars, Damage CTRL finally get an entrance, making things less awkward when trying to get the entire faction out.

The AI has also seen improvements. They’ll go for pin attempts less frequently, perform Rebound attacks and Signature Moves more reliably, and more. Oddly enough, the Southern Lights Suplex is now called the JokerPlex.

Online match stability is also improved, and the experience when joining a session and downloading/uploading Community Creations should also be better. Unfortunately, online play for eight players on Xbox One is temporarily disabled due to an issue. The developer is testing fixes and will address it in a patch “as soon as possible.”

Check out the full patch notes below for more details. WWE 2K23 is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and PC. You can read our official review here.
