WWE 2K23 initial review: It’s all about the WarGames (and how you play it)

Even the most forgiving WWE fan will admit that WWE 2K20 was an unmitigated disaster. Being the first to be developed entirely by Visual Concepts, which took over from experienced wrestling game studio Yuke’s, it was a bug-laden mess with some superstar character models that looked more melted waxworks than their real-world equivalents. It caused both publisher 2K Games and the developer itself to take stock, postpone the annual series refresh and effectively start again.
