WWE 2K26 Not Releasing On Last-Gen Consoles

WWE 2K26 is finally moving to the modern era. According to the game’s ratings page on the ESRB website, WWE 2K26 will no longer release on last-gen consoles.

That means those only playing on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are seemingly out of luck.

A visit to the game’s page on the website mentions a release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. That lines up with what had been previously reported on the status of the game.

Insider Gaming has also reported in the past that The Island mode was set to come to PC this year. With it only being on current-gen systems and PC, it now makes sense as to why.

2K Sports has yet to officially confirm this, so it could be a case of just missing the systems. That said, with it so close to the game’s March 13 release, it’s highly likely that what’s on the ESRB website is accurate.

WWE 2K26 is expected to have a number of improved features and even some new and returning match types this year. One of the game’s main modes, Showcase Mode, will also feature current World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk. Other features include the Draft in Universe mode, a revamped reversal system, intergender matches in MyFACTION, and more.
