To make it abundantly clear, the vast majority of 2K25 characters look absolutely stunning. From facial likenesses to body shape, to hair movement, to outfits, and even to the way a wrestler moves or their wider mannerisms, this release has captured so much of that in pretty perfect fashion.
Not just the wrestlers, though, for the elaborate arenas of WWE 2K25 look magnificent for the most part. It's easy to take for granted these days, but the game manages to translate the size and scope of those big venues WWE is regularly selling out. If you see Jey Uso doing his signature entrance, the crowd looks huge when Main Event Jey gets up on the top turnbuckle and Yeets hard.
