Throughout its various modes, WWE 2K22 allows players to truly embody wrestling legends as they climb to the top of the organization. The game's 2K Showcase mode shines the spotlight on cover star Rey Mysterio, with players reliving the Lucha Libre cruiserweight's most iconic matches like a 2009 bout against Dolph Ziggler. MyGM and Universe modes expand the available roster significantly, letting players choose between icons like Goldberg and Jake "The Snake" Roberts throughout their journey. The MyRISE mode even lets players create their own wrestler, with one gamers adding Arthur Morgan to WWE 2K22 as a tribute to the beloved Red Dead Redemption 2 protagonist.

After improving the game's digital lineup with Patch 1.06, WWE 2K22 will continue expanding its roster through post-launch content. WWE 2K22 DLC will introduce a whole host of new celebrity fighters, ranging from Logan Paul to Mr. T to Machine Gun Kelly. A total of 28 new champions will be brought into the digital ring as able content, further fleshing out an already sizable lineup of warriors. Thanks to the improvement made with WWE 2K22's 1.06 patch, these fighters will likely be brought into the game in considerable detail.

While the wrestling simulator already impressed fans with new features and an all-star roster, Patch 1.06 has further polished WWE 2K22. The game's fighters are now rendered even more realistically, and interactions with the environment have achieved a greater level of believability. While some fans think that WWE 2K22 is missing features, Patch 1.06's exciting improvements allow gamers to further immerse themselves in the ring.
