WWE 2K25 has launched on Nintendo Switch 2, delivering a graphically impressive experience in both docked and handheld modes at a smooth 60 frames per second. The game, which takes up 70GB of storage when purchased digitally, retains most of the features that made the original version a standout, including the Showcase, MyRise, and MyGM modes.
For fans of portable wrestling games, the release marks a return to form after years of underwhelming options. The author recalls fond memories of playing WWE SmackDown vs Raw 2006 on PSP, and notes that the new Switch 2 version finally provides a worthy modern equivalent. The game runs well and defied expectations given the console's technical capabilities.
However, the Switch 2 version lacks the Community Creations feature, which allows players to upload custom wrestlers for others to download. This omission is likely due to Nintendo's stricter online policies. Aside from this, the only weak point is the controversial The Island mode, which is present but poorly received.
The success of WWE 2K25 on Switch 2 bodes well for future sports titles on the platform. EA has already announced a revamped version of EA Sports FC exclusively for Switch 2, suggesting that publishers are now treating the hybrid console as a serious gaming platform rather than an afterthought.
