WWE 2K25 Plagued With Issues During Early Launch, Patch 1.03 Released

March 8, 2025

WWE 2K25 launched yesterday for those who pre-ordered The Deadman and Bloodline editions of the game, and it has seen its fair share of issues.

Countless posts on social media from players complaining about glitches, bugs, and crashes in modes such as MyRise, The Island, Universe, and creation modes have been running rampant over the past 24 hours.

While several issues haven’t been directly addressed by 2K as of yet, they did make a public statement on social media regarding the crashing of MyRise, tweeting out:

“We are aware of and investigating reported concerns of issues occurring when attempting to enter MyRISE. We appreciate your patience,” 2K Support said in a post.
