The WWE 2K24 DLC and Season Pass schedule is all done. It’s been a great year for post-releaseWWE 2K24additions, too: CM Punk arrived early, and was later supplemented by Jade Cargill, Michelle McCool, The Great Muta, Lex Luger and many more. Read on for a full recap of every available pack and downloadable character, in GR’s WWE 2K24 DLC guide.
How do I get the WWE 2K24 DLC characters?
There are two ways, both of which are fairly simple. You can either buy the Season Pass for £32.99/$39.99, or you can purchase individual packs – these cost £8.99/$9.99, which at the end is actually slightly cheaper thanWWE 2K23 DLC. Handy.
The bonus of the Season Pass is that, along with the DLC, you get the MyRise Mega-Boost pack, which features an additional 200 Attribute Points, and traditional SuperCharger – which unlocks all base game legends and additional arenas, without you having to grind to earn them.
There’s a big focus on old school superstars in the WWE 2K24 DLC offering. 14 playable old-school additions dropped in total, and the first four landed as part of the ECW Punk Pack on May 15. They areBubba Ray DudleyandD-Von Dudley– AKA the Dudley Boyz – along withTerry FunkandSandman. The latter is an especially cool inclusion, as his last appearance was in WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008.
June 26’s Post Malone & Friends Pack added another four playable legends, in theHonky Tonky Man,Sensational Sherri, and HeadbangersMoshandThrasher. They’re joined by famed 1980s managerJimmy Hart.Michelle McCoolthen gatecrashed the squared circle as part of the Global Superstars Pack on September 18.
A two-month break followed before the last batch of legends. They areDiamond Dallas Page,Iron Sheik,Mr Perfect,Great Muta, andLex Luger. Together, that quintet form the WCW Pack, and it hit on November 13. Japanese wrestling icon Great Muta in a WWE game? Oh yes. A big deal indeed.
The contemporary element of the WWE 2K24 Season Pass has been handled somewhat controversially. Let’s start with the good news:CM Punkarrived on May 15 as the first of six current-era stars. You can grab him as part of the ECW Punk Pack and it means that he’s in WWE 2K24 and on theAEW Fight Foreverroster.
Things got more curious after that. The list of additional Raw and Smackdown stars being added as DLC is a formidable one: in addition to Punk, we receivedJade Cargill,Nia Jax,Carlito,Kairi SaneandDragon Lee. But we had to wait until September 18’s Global Superstars Pack to play as them. That caused some serious debate among the community, and understandably so.
Look away now, NXT fans. After an impressive selection of 12 up-and-comers last year such as Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams, this time around we received… one. No, really.
Two intriguing celebrities do at least fortify the WWE 2K4 DLC roster. There’s a series debut forPost Maloneas part of the Post Malone & Friends Pack, after the rapper curated this year’s soundtrack. Former NFL punter, and WWE favourite,Pat McAfeefollowed him into the fray on July 31.
The one-time Indianapolis Colts man forms part of the Pat McAfee pack, which also deliveredAJ Hawk,Boston Connor,Darius Butler, andTy Schmitt. McAfee has been on fan ‘most wanted’ lists for the last two years, but seeing his buddies added to the game when we could have had Lash Legend or Lexis King from NXT is a huge gamble. Again, this feels like a mis-step.
Here we go. All five WWE 2K24 DLC Season Pass packs, along with their release dates, are listed below in chronological order.
