WWE 2K25 Coming To Nintendo Switch 2 - Official Reveal And Release Date Details

2K quietly confirmed that its WWE games will return to Nintendo consoles after a seven-year absence, with WWE 2K25 eventually coming to the Switch 2. After teasing more news at the end of last week, a Nintendo eShop listing for WWE 2K25 has gone live early, confirming that you won't have long to wait to finally play a new WWE 2K game on a Nintendo console for the first time since 2017.

WWE 2K25 Launches On Nintendo Switch 2 On July 23

WWE 2K25 will launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 on July 23, 2025, so only three more weeks to wait, and pre-orders for the game are available right now. All three editions of the game that are available on other platforms - Standard, Bloodline, and Deadman - are available on Switch 2, and all of them cost the same as they cost on other platforms, starting from $69.99 for the standard edition.

Since the game costs the same on Switch 2 as it does on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, it should be the same game as you're getting on those other platforms. It will be impossible to tell if that's the case until we get the chance to play it ourselves, of course, but the eShop descriptions make it sound like we're getting the same WWE 2K25 on Switch 2 as we have elsewhere.

WWE 2K25 Will Seemingly Be Close To The Current-Gen Version On Other Consoles

All of the new and returning features that were added to the series via WWE 2K25 are a part of the Switch 2 version, including intergender wrestling, The Bloodline's showcase mode, and The Island. That last one is a particularly promising inclusion for those of you who have been waiting for WWE 2K25 to come to Switch 2 before picking it up.

The Island is effectively a current-gen console exclusive. If you have the PC or last-gen version of WWE 2K25, then The Island is missing from your copy of the game. That means the Switch 2 version isn't simply a port of the lesser last-gen version of the game. It's closer to, if not the same as, the current-gen PS5 and Xbox Series X|S version.

The acid test will be whether WWE 2K25 can run on Switch 2. You'd hope that 2K wouldn't launch a WWE game on a console incapable of running it, but history has taught us that's not always how it goes. WWE 2K18 launched on the original Switch and ran so poorly that 2K skipped the Nintendo console for every mainline installment since. Hey, in the unlikely event that WWE 2K25 runs poorly on Switch 2, at least we know that 2K18 is finally playable on the newer Nintendo console.
