2K Games has just announced the next part in its WWE 2K series, WWE 2K23. And, as the title implies, PC gamers will be once again getting the old-gen version of this wrestling game. As 2K Games has officially confirmed, WWE 2K23 will be not based on the current-gen (PS5/Xbox Series X) version.
As the official FAQ states:
“The Standard Edition is available on previous-gen platforms (PS4, Xbox One consoles and PC) and on current-gen consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X|S) in both physical and digital formats.”
And there you have it everyone. Apparently, our PC systems are not powerful enough for the current-gen version, so we’ll have to keep playing the old-gen version. And, at this point, I begin wondering why PC gamers have purchased WWE 2K21 and WWE 2K22 on PC. Seriously, stop supporting studios that give you old-gen versions of their games. You deserve better.
2K Games has also shared a new video for WWE 2K23, revealing its cover athlete (who is no other than John Cena).
John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

Is WWE as a brand even popular any more post attitude era ??
Yes its incredibly popular.
Arguably one of the most successful companies in the US right now.
So successful in USA that Arabs are willing to buy it …
People barely even know they exist outside the US.
Majority who do know them know them from the Attitude Era and the great talent they had back then.
I’m pretty sure the WWE is incredibly popular in China, India, Europe(mostly the UK) and Saudi Arabia.
nope, we are aware of its existence mainly due to Hogan, iv never met anyone in my 30+years of living in EU who would watch it. Its big only in USA rest of the world finds idea of fake sport just extremely stupid.
say that to the last Uk WWE Clash at the Castle event that was sold out
Wow.. absolutely zero inner child. Must be so much fun to be you
No, they aren’t
They’re cult status
eh, wwe is the only “sports company” that was profitable in 2020
Because the product doesn’t matter anymore, it’s all about licensing and filling time slots.
What? Do me a favor and break down what that means for me..
Licensing… And filling their legally agreed upon schedule.
And go!
Licensing the brand to merchandise to sell everything from bedsheets to cups and filling a time slot in a sports channel for example so they have something to show during that time instead of reruns or expensive to produce original shows.
Uhm no…. No it’s not. Look at the line in their stock prices
It is here, in Europe at least. Probably in the US too, but yea. This news sucks, just like their attitude for the PC version. Gives me Fifa vibes.
Who cares I think these games are (Usually) fun. If this one is then I’ll buy
I can read and find it interesting how you came to this conclusion that pc version is old-gen.
It specifically says that standard edition is available on old-gen platforms and current-gen consoles. And PC is somehow mentioned as old platforms because its always existing.
Also Wwe2k22 had same confusion but all the versions were same. There was no difference.
they call it old gen cause they still use old polygonal models.
Source? I’ve seen comparisons. Literally no difference at all.
I agree. In reading what John posted in the article I am finding it difficult to see his point. It simply sounded like the “Standard Edition” is available on all platforms. At least that is how the excerpt that was posted read to me. English is also my first language… 😉
Even if they patch out that C list LA voice actors dialogue, it’s DOA.
They should patch out the actors and patch in Peter Dinklage, as revenge for him being patched out of Destiny.
as a snow white dwarf though, after his comments on the matter last year.
“And, at this point, I begin wondering why PC gamers have purchased WWE 2K21 and WWE 2K22 on PC. ”
No PC gamers (or any gamers) have purchased WWE 2K21 because there was no WWE 2K21.
I’m sure it will look identical to the current-gen version. 2K22 on PC looks pretty much the same as the current-gen version honestly. If you put them side by side I dare you to spot any differences and if you do see any then my friend you have a hell of an eagle eye.
very informative articles or reviews at this time.
That’s not what that phrasing means lol. You seriously think it means last gen only on PC? Haha
There is literally no difference between the PS5 / XBOX Series X and PC for WWE 2K22, I have both and if anything looks better on PC. This is lazy clickbait.
I am a website designer. Recently, I am designing a website template about gate.io. The boss’s requirements are very strange, which makes me very difficult. I have consulted many websites, and later I discovered your blog, which is the style I hope to need. thank you very much. Would you allow me to use your blog style as a reference? thank you!
