WWE 2K25: First Glimpses and Roster Speculation
Xbox recently unveiled a sneak peek at WWE 2K25, sparking excitement and speculation among wrestling game enthusiasts. The release date remains unconfirmed, though the March 2024 launch of WWE 2K24 suggests a similar timeframe in 2025 is likely. While official details are scarce, the gaming community is buzzing with predictions.
A major point of conversation centers on the cover star. Past WWE games have featured legendary figures like Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, as well as current superstars such as Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair. A recent Steam page leak hints at a potential cover athlete, but official confirmation is pending. The WWE Games Twitter account promises further details on January 28, 2025.
Xbox's Twitter post, celebrating WWE RAW's Netflix debut, showcased screenshots featuring updated models and attire for four wrestlers: Liv Morgan, Cody Rhodes, Damien Priest, and CM Punk. This strongly suggests their inclusion in the playable roster. While the tweet didn't mention Xbox Game Pass availability, the possibility is generating considerable fan interest. Many praised the improved likeness of Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan compared to previous iterations.
Four Confirmed Playable Characters:

Despite this confirmation, the full WWE 2K25 roster remains a mystery. Given recent roster changes within WWE, fans are eagerly anticipating the inclusion of their favorites. Names like Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and the revamped Wyatt Six are among the most frequently mentioned hopeful additions.
Although the initial announcement came from Xbox, WWE 2K25 is expected to launch on PlayStation and PC as well. Whether it will be exclusive to current-gen consoles remains unclear. A wishlist link shared by the WWE Games Twitter account, featuring Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam logos, reinforces the multi-platform expectation and reiterates the January 28, 2025 reveal date for further information.
