If you're playing WarGames by yourself, when you have your new partners enter the match, you can freely switch control from one member of your team to the other. It’s no secret that the strength of WWE games lies in their game modes. Returning to the ring has its perks and adrenaline rush, but almost all other pro-wrestlers like Fire Pro and No Mercy will guarantee a good time in the ring. What sets WWE apart, though, is the stellar modes it offers and the consequent renovations that were done to elevate the experience further. Collect, manage, and upgrade cards of WWE Superstars and Legends to build the ultimate 4-person faction in MyFACTION. Nonetheless, WWE 2K23 is a return to form, even with MyFaction muddying the waters.

This series looks set for a strong run on PS5 and Xbox Series X. So long as its annual focus doesn't become milking fans for cash, long after its WrestleMania release date.

Speaking of fluidity, 2K has really pulled off some great work when it comes to the menu design and speedier loading times in WWE 2K23 (MyRise aside), giving the game a true AAA quality feel. This obviously extends to the gameplay presentation too, where the graphical enhancements of last year have been bolstered once again.
