WWE 2K23 Servers Permanently Shut Down After Less Than Two Years

Players lose access to online matches and community features as 2K discontinues support for the 2023 wrestling title.

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.
