Twenty-five additional Superstars will join the WWE 2K23 roster over a five-month period after 2K Sports’ pro wrestling simulation launches next week. The DLC fighters range from NWA legends like Harley Race and the Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott) to memorable threats like Bray Wyatt and Zeus.
The Steiners were WWE Hall of Fame inductees in 2022, following a career that began at the University of Michigan and meandered through the NWA/WCW until the end of that circuit in 2001 (with a three-year stint in what was then called the WWF ). Race, who died in 2019, was a hall of fame inductee in 2007 after a wrestling career that began in the early 1960s. Zeus, real name Tommy Lister, Jr. (died 2020), is perhaps best known to most people as Deebo, the villain from Ice Cube’s 1995 cult classic Friday.
2K Sports did not list prices for the season pass; last year’s DLC pass, which gave 27 Superstars, was $39.99. The WWE 2K23 Season Pass is included with the Deluxe Edition of the game for $99.99 (a physical copy of the game) and for the Icon Edition, which is available as a download only, for $119.99. The standard edition of the game is $59.99.
WWE 2K23 launches on March 17 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. Those who purchase the Deluxe or Icon Edition will get the game on March 14. Here are all five roster packs and their launch dates:
