WWE 2K24 preview - a clunky but authentic love letter to wrestling

A roster of wrestlers in WWE 2K24 artwork.

This WWE 2K24 preview is early; we’re playing on the Saturday morning before the Royal Rumble, and it’s one of the first times press or content creators have had a chance to play the game. There’s only a tiny slice available, but it’s more than enough to get excited about. 

But it’s not just the game getting my pulse racing. The room is chaotic. A thumping baseline comes from a DJ that started at 9am and content creators holler and bellow as their matches play out, hopping between different consoles as they collaborate. At one point I look up from my screen and see Xavier Woods, the keen gamer and professional wrestler, whooping with joy as the digital recreation of himself, starring in WWE 2K24, delivers some digital pain.
