Some of the older WWE games allowed players to fight among the fans, adding an extra element of excitement to the proceedings. Sadly, this isn't really a feature in WWE 2K25, at least not an intentional one, that is. As is often the case, where there's a will, there's a way.
The Best Wrestling Games of All Time, Ranked
Wrestling games combine famous faces and classic fighting - and these are the best of the best for those who'd much rather play than watch.
With a fairly simple setup, players can glitch into the crowd in WWE 2K25. What's more, it's possible to get multiple superstars behind the barrier, allowing players to duke it out while surrounded by members of the audience, just like they could in some classic wrestling games.
How to Get into the Crowd in WWE 2K25 (Barrier Glitch)
The are a few different ways to get over the barriers in WWE 2K25, but the most consistent involves using a ladder in the NXT arena. With this in mind, players should start a ladder match where all of the superstars are controlled by humans, then set up the ladder right next to the barrier. After climbing it, they'll simply need to use another superstar to tip the ladder over. It may take a few attempts, but they'll eventually land on the other side of the barrier.
Once one superstar has glitched over the barrier, getting more over becomes a lot simpler. Players will simply need to set up and climb the ladder again, then jump off while targeting the superstar who is already among the crowd. If done correctly, they'll jump straight over the barrier, allowing them to take the fight directly to the fans. Sadly, they won't be able to finish the match with every superstar behind the barriers, nor will they be able to get back over, so they'll need to quit or restart once they've had their fill of fun.
