WWE 2K23 is one of the most anticipated games of the year. After the huge success of last year’s WWE 2K22, which came out after a long hiatus, the professional wrestling sports video game is again set to follow a yearly release roaster.
The game, developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K Sports, has left fans excited as it will feature John Cena showcase mode matches. While the official release of WWE 2K23 is around a week away, there is a way you can get early access to the game. Read on to find out how.
WWE 2K23 Early Access Release Date
The standard edition of WWE 2K23 will be launched on March 17. However, early access will be available for Deluxe and Icon editions three days earlier, on March 14. So you can get early access to the game by purchasing the above two editions on March 14.
The game is being launched for PS4 and PS5, Xbox One, and Series X/S and will be available for PC via stream.
