"WWE 2K23" servers have been shut down and its online service life is less than two years

The servers of "WWE 2K23" have been officially shut down, marking 2K's decision to terminate all online services for this wrestling game. This means that the only WWE game currently supporting online functionality has become "WWE 2K24", which will be released in March 2024. Looking back at WWE 2K23, it was released in March 2023, had a lifespan of less than two years on its online service, and was finally pulled from digital platforms on November 1, 2024.

　2K In the announcement about the shutdown of the "WWE 2K23" server, it was clearly mentioned: ""WWE 2K23" "2K23" is about to complete its historical mission. Starting from January 6, 2025, its servers will cease operations, including all online functions such as online competitions and community creation. After that, players will no longer be able to participate in any online game modes, but for those who have already. For players who own the game, offline mode will still be available. ”

About "WWE 2K23" evaluation, we mentioned in our previous review that Adrian, as a wrestling fan, had expected to create a five-star classic game full of exciting actions, tense duels and iconic moments in the game, but unfortunately, "WWE 2K23" fails to meet this expectation. The game operation is complex and not smooth enough, and 2K's overemphasis on player victory has caused this professional wrestling game to deviate from its core.

This time "WWE 2K23" server shutdown occurred again after the "NBA 2K23" server was shut down on December 31, 2024, and the "NBA 2K23" server had been removed from the digital platform as early as the end of November. This has become a common practice at 2K, where they shut down server operations within a few years of a game's release in order to fully support the latest version of the game.
