The game’s online services include private matches on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, WWE Live, 2K Tonight and Team Up.
WWE 2K16 launched for last-gen consoles and current-gen systems alongside PC in March last year. It received mixed to positive reviews upon release, with PlayStation LifeStyle’s sister site GameRevolution noting in its review:
Only the submission system, the occasional glitch, and some issues with the UI for creation modes hold WWE 2K16 back. Otherwise, WWE 2K16 crushes its predecessor with the impact of a Stone Cold Stunner.
