WWE 2K25 Is Finally Confirmed For Switch 2 Alongside Release Date
By Update #3 []: 2K Games have confirmed with us that WWE 2K25’s physical release will be a Code In Box release.
So, ignore that little Game-Key Card mention in the trailer, we suppose!
Update #2 []: Well, there you have it — 2K has confirmed that the latest edition of its wrestling series, WWE 2K25, is landing on Switch 2 at the end of the month. Its physical release will apparently be a code in a box, according to Best Buy, though the trailer up top includes a Game-Key Card disclaimer within it. (The eShop listing reveals a hefty 73.2GB file size.)
The game, which originally launched on other consoles back in March, will be landing on the hybrid console on 23rd July with three different editions, detailed below.
WWE 2K25 is one of the most feature-rich games in the series and includes The Bloodline’s Dynasty, a new “story” mode that allows you to “relive, change, and create the history of The Bloodline”.
There’s also The Island, an online hub where you can challenge other players, complete quests, and unlock items; a huge roster of wrestlers old and new; new match types and gameplay improvements; a manager mode; a card-battle mode; an improved sandbox mode; and a creation suite, among many other things.
Here’s what all three editions will include:
WWE 2K25 Standard Edition:
○ Available for £59.99;

Update #1 []:
It seems like the eShop has given away the secret; WWE 2K25 is indeed coming to Switch 2, and it’s coming very soon — 23rd July 2025.
Spotted by Nintendo Everything, multiple eShop listings for the game have appeared on the North American store revealing the game’s price and release date.
The standard edition will be $69.99, the Deadman Edition is priced at $99.99 (and includes a ton of DLC all related to The Undertaker), and the extremely pricey Bloodline Edition comes in at $129.99 and includes everything in the Deadman edition and more.
The official Twitter account teased an announcement for today, so we expect we’ll be seeing that very soon…
Original Story: During the Switch 2 Direct in April, 2K announced it would be bringing the WWE 2K series to the new hybrid system at some point in the future.
Now, in an update from the official ‘WWE games’ social media account, it’s been revealed a “WWE2K25 announcement” is apparently “coming soon”. The trailer signs off with a familiar sound effect and animation, along with the following date: 1st July 2025.
“You never know when the next match will begin… Be ready to throw down anytime, anywhere. #WWE2K25 Announcement coming soon”
When 2K originally revealed it was bringing WWE 2K to the Switch 2, it also announced NBA 2K would be released on the platform as well. This follows the release of games like Civilization VII on the platform and Borderlands 4 is also expected in the future.
When we find out more, we’ll let you know.
