Just days after its early access launch, WWE 2K25 has already received its fifth update, Patch 1.05, addressing a variety of bugs and glitches reported by players. While the game has been met with largely positive reviews, the early access period has revealed a number of issues, ranging from minor typos to more significant gameplay and creation suite problems. With the official release set for March 14, the development team is working diligently to ensure a smooth experience for all players.
Early Access Woes and Fan Feedback
Since its early access launch on March 5 for special edition purchasers, WWE 2K25 has been under the microscope of its passionate fanbase. While the game has been praised for its improved mechanics and visuals, players have encountered a mix of bugs and glitches that have slightly marred the experience. Among the more surprising issues were multiple typos in the game, including well-known phrases like “Best Im The World” (instead of “Best In The World”) and “Phenomenal Ons” (instead of “Phenomenal Ones”). These errors, while not affecting gameplay, have been a point of frustration for fans seeking an authentic WWE experience.
Thankfully, Patch 1.05 addresses several of these issues, including the correction of CM Punk’s shirt spelling error. The update also resolves an “Intergender Wrestling” message that appeared inappropriately in Universe mode, a feature that has been a staple of the WWE 2K series.
Key Fixes in Patch 1.05
Patch 1.05, as reported by TheSmackDownHotel, brings a host of fixes to the table, particularly targeting the Creation Suite, a beloved feature among the WWE 2K community. The update restores missing emboss and material sub-menus in Create an Arena and Create-A-Superstar modes, which were previously unavailable. Additionally, issues with custom images, duplicating face tattoos, and the Parts Color option being grayed out have been resolved. These fixes are crucial for players who enjoy customizing their WWE experience, ensuring that the Creation Suite remains a robust and user-friendly tool.
The patch also improves online stability and performance, though specific modes affected by these changes have not been detailed. While some players have reported that The Island mode still experiences occasional slowdowns, others have noted smoother gameplay in MyFaction, one of the game’s popular online modes.
Looking Ahead to the Full Release
With the official launch of WWE 2K25 just around the corner, the development team is clearly focused on addressing as many issues as possible before the game reaches a wider audience. The early access period has served as a valuable testing ground, allowing the team to identify and fix problems before the full release.
Despite the progress made with Patch 1.05, some concerns remain. Players have pointed out additional bugs and glitches that still need attention, such as occasional performance hiccups in certain modes and minor visual inconsistencies. The community remains hopeful that future updates will continue to refine the game, ensuring a polished experience for all players.
