WWE 2K26 Announces Huge Changes to Ringside Pass Alongside Massive 1.07 Patch

There was a lot to love about WWE 2K26 this year, but the black cloud of the Ringside Pass left many longtime fans frustrated.

Prior to the release of WWE 2K26, it was announced that the game would introduce a Ringside Pass this year, replacing the typical Season Pass we've seen in years past. The Ringside Pass introduced a Battle Pass-like element to the game, forcing players to grind across 40 levels to unlock additional content, including DLC characters that owners of the Monday Night War edition had already paid for.

This left many players feeling betrayed by 2K this year, and several decided to speak with their wallets by not buying this year's game in protest. There have also been several players who figured out ways to grind the tiers faster, which 2K quickly patched, leaving many who purchased this year's game to say this would be their last after experiencing the grind of the Ringside Pass.

Massive changes coming to the Ringside Pass for WWE 2K26

Today, 2K released a new Ringside Report to address the community and announce several positive changes to the Ringside Pass that will be implemented next month, including the ability to unlock all DLC characters in the first tier of all future Ringside Passes in WWE 2K26.

It was also revealed that if you have purchased and played the game before April 14, 2K will be supplying players with enough RXP to unlock the first 20 tiers of the first and second Ringside Passes. This is surely an incentive to boost game sales heading into WrestleMania 42 next month.

In addition to this, the amount of RXP needed for each tier starting with the second Ringside Pass will be reduced from 800 to 625 RXP, allowing players to get through each Battle Pass in a shorter amount of time. They will also be increasing the value of future RXP Boosts available in the Ringside Passes.

Patch 1.07 is now LIVE!

This update includes a wide range of improvements and fixes across the game. We’re also excited to share updates to the Ringside Pass.
