WWE 2K24 is less than a week away from coming out provided you are opting for early access. This pre-order incentive allows you to make your in-ring debut 72-hours before everyone else. Here you will find the WWE 2K24 early access release date and time countdown for when it will come out, along with how to get the pre-order bonus.
WWE 2K24 is very exciting. It has a roster list comprising of over 200 wrestlers from the past as well as the present across RAW, SmackDown, and NXT. Not only does it launch with over 200 superstars, but even more will be added swiftly post-launch with the Season Pass DLC packs. And, to make you even happier, CM Punk is part of the very first bundle coming out in May.
Everything about the newest installment from 2K looks marvellous. The roster is great, the visuals are superior thanks to improved lighting, there’s four new huge match types, and there’s lots of quality-of-life improvements. If you cannot wait to experience everything the game has to offer, then you only have to wait less than a week for the WWE 2K24 early access release date and time countdown to end.
WWE 2K24 early access release date
The release date for WWE 2K24 early access is March 5th. It comes out 72 hours before the Standard edition launches on March 8th. You will be able to get early access on all platforms meaning PS4 and PS5, Xbox One and Series X/S, and PC.
It is not coming to Xbox Game Pass, and there is still no version for the Nintendo Switch which is probably good news seeing as 2K18 was a colossal disaster. In more bad news, there is still no crossplay multiplayer across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC despite the feature getting added to NBA 2K24 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
When does WWE 2K24 early access come out?
The release time for when WWE 2K24 early access will come out is 9 PM PT on March 4th, as well as 12 AM ET and 12 AM GMT on March 5th. These hours come courtesy of the countdown on the PSN and Microsoft stores.
Because it’s a local midnight release, you should be able to pull off the New Zealand trick on Xbox consoles to play one day earlier. No release time has been shared for PC yet, but we will update this article once the countdown begins on Valve’s store.
Make sure to pre-order the game so you can preload ahead of launch. This will you allow you to begin living the life of a wrestler the very second the game unlocks.
