The 1.08 update for WWE 2K23 is a hefty one and addresses lots of ongoing issues in the game. It also introduces lots of new content and we’ve got a full rundown of the 1.08 update’s patch notes.

We’re only a few weeks removed from the successful release of 2K’s polished title – WWE 2K23. There have already been quite a few important updates released for the game as the devs aim to make sports entertainment even more entertaining!

WWE 2K23 has proven to be a big leap in quality and there are no signs of it stopping. Through social media and other means, the devs have been keeping tabs on issues. As a result, the 1.08 update seeks to eliminate several of these, including flaws with the game’s AI, while also debuting new features.

Courtesy of 2K, we have full details on all the changes it has made.

WWE 2K23 1.08 update

The 1.08 update features “Enhanced AI interactions in general gameplay” pertaining to pin mechanics, the AI’s reaction to certain moves, and more.

Also, online multiplayer is receiving a slight boost too. Along with greater stability and connection improvements, there are also fixes for the friend invite system.

The other noteworthy change in this update is the welcoming of new content. It’s nice to see that the Bayley-led Damage CTRL faction now have an authentic entrance, but players will likely be more concerned with the presence of new MyGM extras.

New match types have been added to Championship match situations, and the game mode’s logic has also been tweaked too.
