WWE 2K25 Receives Mixed Steam Reviews: PC Version Missing Key Features

by

Summary

  • WWE 2K25 received mixed reviews on Steam, with PC players upset about missing features.
  • Critics praised WWE 2K25 upon release, but Steam players feel the PC version is lacking.
  • The Island game mode is exclusive to current-gen console versions.

Following its debut, the latest edition of WWE 2K, specifically WWE 2K25, has garnered a mix of feedback from players on Steam. The main criticisms regarding WWE 2K25 on PC appear to revolve around a significant problem that may not be addressable after its launch.

Upon its release, WWE 2K25 was met with strong reviews from critics, and many pointed out that it was the best iteration the series has seen in years, arriving on the back of a rocky period. It achieved a Top Critic Average of 82 on review score aggregator OpenCritic, with 88% of critics recommending it to gamers. With a massive roster of wrestlers and plenty of game modes to choose from, it seemed that WWE 2K25 was primed for success across the board. However, some Steam players don’t quite feel the same way.

The game WWE 2K25, which was initially well-received with an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam, has recently seen a drop in its rating to a “Mixed” one. This change is due to 38% of players expressing negative feedback. Many players commend the game’s strong wrestling action mechanics in the ring, but there seems to be a significant issue with the PC version of WWE 2K25. It appears that the PC version is based on the last-generation version of the game, making it less advanced than the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 versions despite its premium price tag.

WWE 2K25 Faces ‘Mixed’ Player Reviews on Steam

The biggest issue with this is that WWE 2K25‘s new The Island game mode isn’t available on PC. This multiplayer game mode is exclusive to the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of WWE 2K25, and was advertised as a big feature coming into the latest iteration. Many Steam reviews reference the lack of The Island, while others were annoyed that Community Creations are split across platforms, leaving PC players unable to get many of the most popular custom creations from other gamers. Because The Island is such a major feature, it’s unlikely that Visual Concepts will be able to add it to the PC version easily, so players shouldn’t expect to see this resolved any time soon.

There’s still much to come for WWE 2K25 players across all platforms. In the wake of the game’s launch, WWE 2K25 has revealed its DLC release schedule, showcasing all the post-launch support players will have access to throughout the rest of 2025. Hopefully, this can go some way to improving Steam players’ opinion of WWE 2K25.
