WWE 2K25 Officially Confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2

Wrestling fans with a preference for portable gaming can finally celebrate as the WWE 2K franchise is set to make its long-awaited return to Nintendo platforms. The drought has been real, with nearly eight years passing since a WWE game graced Nintendo hardware, but that’s all about to change with WWE 2K25 heading to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

The announcement dropped during Wednesday’s Nintendo Direct presentation, confirming what many gamers had been hoping for since the last WWE title on Nintendo – WWE 2K18 in 2017. That previous release suffered notorious performance issues on the original Switch, something the new hardware aims to address with its significant upgrades.

The Nintendo Switch 2 launches on June 5, 2025, and packs some serious muscle compared to its predecessor. Gamers can look forward to a 7.9-inch LCD screen with 1080p resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, magnetically-connecting Joy-Cons, 256GB of internal storage, and 4K output capabilities when docked. There’s also a new “C” button that activates GameChat for online communication, which could be a game-changer for multiplayer matches.

This return signals a vote of confidence in Nintendo’s hardware from 2K, potentially opening doors for other demanding titles to make the jump. For fans who can’t wait to get their hands on the new console, Nintendo will be hosting “Switch 2 Experience” events in major cities like Los Angeles, New York, London, and Paris starting this month. The real question now is whether the WWE 2K25 port will finally deliver the smooth performance that portable wrestling fans have been waiting for.
