WWE 2K25 is now on Nintendo Switch 2, but without Community Creations and image uploads. Here’s why that matters and what it could mean for Switch players.
WWE 2K25 Is Finally Playable on Nintendo—But Not Fully Customizable
So, the good news: WWE 2K25 has finally made its way to the Nintendo Switch 2. And unlike the dumpster fire that was WWE 2K18 on the OG Switch, this one’s not bricking itself just by loading a match. The bad news? Two major features didn’t make the tag-team entrance with it—and they’re kind of a big deal.
Let’s break it down.
What’s Missing from WWE 2K25 on Switch 2?
While you’ll get the full gameplay package—MyRise, MyGM, Universe Mode, online play, all the DLC wrasslers—the Switch 2 version is missing two absolute must-haves for anyone who loves customization:
1. Cross-Platform Community Creations
Yup, it’s not there. You can’t browse or download any custom wrestlers, arenas, or logos made by players on PlayStation, Xbox, or PC. That means no dream rosters filled with AEW stars, legends like Kurt Angle, or those hilariously cursed Shrek CAWs.
2. Image Uploader
This one stings even more. You can’t upload your own images to use for custom superstars or titles. So if you had plans to recreate your high school wrestling persona, sorry champ—you’re stuck with in-game assets only.
Why This Is a Big Deal
If you’ve spent even 10 minutes in a WWE 2K game in the last decade, you know the Community Creations hub is the lifeblood of the experience. It’s where the game becomes less about what’s on the disc and more about what the community builds.
Switch 2 players being cut off from that ecosystem is like showing up to a Royal Rumble only to find out you’re stuck in the parking lot.
But Wait—Why Leave It Out at All?
Here’s where things get weird. According to 2K’s official support page, there’s zero technical explanation. Which is strange, considering the Switch 2 is more powerful than a PS4, and those versions have full image uploading and cross-platform sharing.
The current fan theory floating around? Nintendo doesn’t want to risk NSFW or offensive content hitting the platform, which is fair… but also kinda lazy. Instead of moderating it properly, they may have just noped out entirely.
Could it be fixed later with a patch? Maybe. But with no promises from 2K or Nintendo, don’t hold your breath.
History Repeats (But Less Glitchy)
To be fair, WWE games on Nintendo have a rough track record.
- WWE 2K18 was borderline unplayable on the original Switch.
- WWE Battlegrounds in 2020 was cartoon chaos, but still got dragged for clunky controls.
WWE 2K25 is leagues ahead in performance—thank you, Switch 2 hardware—but it’s wild that the biggest issue this time is missing content, not broken gameplay.
Final Verdict: Should You Get It on Switch 2?
If you’re mostly in it for offline modes or just want a smooth portable wrestling experience, the Switch 2 version is totally solid. But if you’re the type to spend hours building custom wrestlers, downloading dream arenas, or recreating 1998 Monday Night Raw to the pixel? You’ll feel the limitations hard.
WWE 2K25 on Switch 2: The Hits & Misses
What You Get:
- Full core gameplay (MyRise, MyGM, online play)
- Smooth performance (no more slideshow matches!)
- Same DLC roster as other platforms
What’s Missing:
- Cross-platform Community Creations
- Image Uploader for custom graphics
The Vibe:
It’s a win… but not a clean one.
What Could Fix It?
Here’s what we’d love to see:
- A moderated content update that unlocks the Image Uploader
- Optional parental controls to filter NSFW creations
- An official statement from 2K or Nintendo with some transparency
Until then, Switch players are kinda playing in a steel cage with one arm tied behind their back.
