The wait for WWE 2K24’s early access period is almost over, especially for those who’ve reserved their copy in advance. For fans eager to step into the virtual ring, early access perks mean you can throw your first punch a full three days ahead of the crowd. Discover the specific timings for WWE 2K24 early access release, and learn how you can qualify for this special bonus.
The latest edition of WWE 2K24 is generating immense buzz. It features a robust lineup of over 200 wrestling icons from history and today, hailing from brands like RAW, SmackDown, and NXT. The launch lineup is already impressive, yet the game aims to exceed expectations with additional superstars through Season Pass DLC packs soon after release. For fans of CM Punk, you’ll be thrilled to know he headlines the first DLC release in May.
The upcoming WWE 2K game from 2K Games promises to dazzle with its stunning graphics amplified by enhanced lighting techniques, the introduction of four new match varieties, and multiple gameplay improvements. For those who can’t wait to dive into all the action, the countdown to the WWE 2K24 early access launch is ticking down to less than a week.
Countdown to Early Access for WWE 2K24
Circle your calendar for March 5th – the premier date for WWE 2K24’s early access, debuting a mere 72 hours before the regular edition hits the market on March 8th. Expect availability across major gaming platforms including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Series X/S, and PC.
Despite not making it to Xbox Game Pass or Nintendo Switch (avoiding a repeat of the 2K18 mishap), fans will have to forego cross-platform play for now, as that feature remains exclusive to NBA 2K24 on PS5 and Series X/S.
Scheduled Launch for WWE 2K24 Early Access
Anticipated release times are 9 PM Pacific Time on March 4th, and at the stroke of midnight on March 5th for both Eastern Time and Greenwich Mean Time. These release windows are based on information issued by the PSN and Microsoft store countdowns.
You might be able to capitalize on time zone differences to play even earlier on Xbox consoles via the New Zealand trick. Release timings for PC gamers are yet to be disclosed, but stay connected for the latest info once the countdown starts on Valve’s digital store.
Pre-order now to get a head start on downloading, ensuring you’re ready to jump in the moment WWE 2K24 unlocks.
