Of course, given the nature of video games and the ever-changing landscape of WWE, a few of the stars included in the game have undergone gimmick changes since the game was being developed, though WWE 2K23 certainly has quite the stacked roster to get to grips with. Likewise, there are several notable absences where wrestlers clearly weren't in the WWE fold in time to make the cut - with names such as Bray Wyatt, the Good Brothers, Mia Yim, Candice LeRae, Tegan Nox, and Hit Row falling under that category.
Available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Steam, WWE 2K23 is on general release from 17 March... though those who pre-order the Icon Edition will get early access from 14 March.
