2K’s highly anticipated wrestling title, WWE 2K26, has received its rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), confirming that the game will not be available on last-generation consoles. PlayStation users can expect the game to launch exclusively on the PS5, bypassing the PS4 entirely.
The rating has confirmed that WWE 2K26 will also be available on PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S, with no versions being released for the PS4 or Xbox One. This decision aligns with the trends in the gaming industry as developers are increasingly focusing on the capabilities of newer hardware, especially since the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S have been on the market for over five years, allowing for more advanced game features and graphics.
The ESRB rating provides some insight into gameplay expectations for WWE 2K26. Players will engage in a variety of match types, including tag team, extreme rules, and inferno matches. The game features storylines that celebrate historical matches and the careers of notable wrestlers. Gamers can utilize an array of wrestling moves such as strikes, submissions, and grapples to deplete their opponents’ health and stamina. In various matches, players will also have the opportunity to incorporate objects like chairs, thumbtacks, and tables into their combat strategies.
A complete reveal of WWE 2K26 is scheduled for tomorrow, promising further details regarding the game, including its release date, gameplay mechanics, and special edition offerings. Fans are eagerly anticipating this unveiling, which is expected to provide exciting insights into what the game has to offer.
