Overview

• As of January 6, 2025, all online functionality for WWE 2K23 has been discontinued, including online matches and Community Creations.
• The game was removed from digital storefronts in November 2024, and its virtual currency and in-game store were disabled prior to the server shutdown.
• Players can still access offline modes if they previously purchased the game, but no further updates or online services will be available.
• The decision follows 2K's pattern of discontinuing online support for older sports titles, though WWE 2K23's servers lasted less than two years.
• Criticism of such shutdowns is growing, with movements advocating for fully offline game options and new consumer protection laws requiring clearer disclosure about digital purchases.
