WWE 2K25 Release Time/Pre-Download Information

[Zeokage]

There's an article on the 2K Support website on the release dates per time zone!

https://support.wwe2k.com/hc/en-us/articles/38972338442515-WWE-2K25-Regional-Launch-Times

The Steam download times are below for the Advanced Access for non-Standard editions on the 7th and the official release date of the 14th.

New Zealand (NZDT) - 6:00 PM
Australia (AEDT) - 4:00 PM
Japan (JST) - 2:00 PM
Singapore (SGT) - 1:00 PM
United Kingdom (GMT) - 5:00 AM
United States (EST) - Midnight
United States (PST) - 9:00 PM

NOTE: The US starts Daylight Savings Time during Advanced Access, so the release times on the 14th will be 1 hour earlier outside of the US.

For anyone wanting a time zone in between...

It's releasing at the same time worldwide at midnight US Eastern Time (plus some time for the server to actually release the game, so give it an hour before panicking and remember to restart Steam).

If you are getting keys from somewhere other than Steam, please check with the vendor instead of posting here. The 2K Store's vendor is Xsolla.

Please note that there has been no pre-download of the game since WWE 2K20 so I wouldn't expect it this year either.

Steam has no preload

[JohnAbra55]

Do we get preload?

For those who have early acess? Like a day before

[Lesskarr Wolf]

unfortunate, i don't understand why some games allow preloads and others don't lol makes no sense

That’s funny because I actually didn’t get an option for that

Is an earlier preload possible via VPN (New Zealand)? I'm working all day on Friday and don't feel like downloading 80 GB in the evening, but would rather start gaming as soon as I get home and use the 7 days full

No, there is no preload and all locations start at the same time.

[Fanthelion]

Did you know guys, at which hours the game will release and by country ?

There hasn't been a pre-download since 2K20 so I wouldn't expect one this year either.
