WWE 2K26: Ringside Pass Adjustments - March 11, 2026

UPDATED:

The Ringside Pass is a brand-new feature, so like anything new it’ll require some time and attention to get it just right. We have some adjustments to share with you as part of Patch 1.04*.

So far we've seen the player experience not being exactly what's intended, so we're implementing some changes with Patch 1.04, including:

  • Custom Matches will now award RXP
  • RXP earn rates for matches increased by 20%
    • Match Complete: 25 (current) > 30
    • Match Win Bonus: 85 (current) > 105
  • Minimum match time requirement added for Match Win RXP rewards
    • If a match is completed faster than 60 seconds, players will receive completion RXP, but not additional win bonuses. We know you're enjoying making Eric Bischoff tap out but let's give poor "Eazy E" a breather.

Overall, we hope these changes support a wider variety of match types and playstyles and help keep the experience fun and rewarding for everyone. And as a thank you to those who jumped into the ring with us early, we’re providing Early Access players with the locker code MZFGCPCR for 32,500 VC, which can be redeemed in-game by 9 AM PT on March 12.  Once you've redeemed the locker code, you just need to pop into The Island to receive your VC.

Patch 1.04 will have notes that are directly on our WWE 2K Help Center.

*Note that while these updates will go live on PS5, Xbox Series X, and Steam on March 11, the Nintendo Switch 2 updates will be live on March 30. 

We appreciate your support and we look forward to seeing your continued in-game accomplishments because The Show Never Stops.
