WWE 2K25 Is Finally Confirmed For Switch 2 Alongside Release Date
By Update #3 []: 2K Games have validated with us that WWE 2K25’s tangible release will be a Code In Box format.
So, we should disregard that small Game-Key Card reference in the trailer, we presume!
Update #2 []: Well, there you have it — 2K has verified that the newest installment of its wrestling franchise, WWE 2K25, will arrive on Switch 2 at the month’s end. Its physical release will seemingly be a code in a box, according to Best Buy, though the trailer above includes a Game-Key Card notice within it. (The eShop listing indicates a substantial 73.2GB file size.)
The game, which initially debuted on other consoles back in March, will be making its way to the hybrid console on 23rd July with three distinct editions as outlined below.
WWE 2K25 stands out as one of the most feature-packed games in the franchise and features The Bloodline’s Dynasty, a new “story” mode that lets you “relive, alter, and create the history of The Bloodline”.
Additionally, there’s The Island, an online community where you can challenge other participants, complete missions, and acquire items; a vast roster of wrestlers from past and present; new match types and gameplay enhancements; a manager mode; a card-battle mode; an upgraded sandbox mode; and a creation suite, among many other features.
Here’s what each of the three editions will encompass:
WWE 2K25 Standard Edition:

Update #1 []:
It appears the eShop has revealed the secret; WWE 2K25 is indeed heading to Switch 2, and it’s arriving very shortly — 23rd July 2025.
Noticed by Nintendo Everything, several eShop listings for the game have surfaced on the North American store disclosing the game’s price and release date.
The standard edition will cost $69.99, the Deadman Edition is set at $99.99 (and includes a wealth of DLC all connected to The Undertaker), and the quite costly Bloodline Edition is priced at $129.99 and encompasses everything in the Deadman edition and beyond.
The official Twitter handle hinted at an announcement for today, so we anticipate seeing that very shortly…
Original Story: During the Switch 2 Direct in April, 2K announced that it would be introducing the WWE 2K series to the new hybrid platform at some point in the future.
Now, in a message from the official ‘WWE games’ social media profile, it has been disclosed that a “WWE2K25 announcement” is reportedly “on its way”. The trailer concludes with a recognizable sound effect and animation, together with the following date: 1st July 2025.
“You never know when the next match will commence… Be prepared to throw down anytime, anywhere. #WWE2K25 Announcement coming soon.”
When 2K initially disclosed it was bringing WWE 2K to the Switch 2, it also announced NBA 2K would be available on the platform as well. This follows the release of titles like Civilization VII on the platform and Borderlands 4 is also anticipated in the future.
When we gain more information, we’ll keep you updated.
