WWE 2K25's Switch 2 Gameplay is Promising, But One Missing…

WWE 2K25 is officially out on the Switch 2, which is a first for the popular wrestling game franchise. Initial gameplay clips from the release trailer show detailed graphics when it comes to the design of the wrestlers and the arenas, and promise the same exciting action from WWE 2K25's console version. However, it's missing something fans have come to expect from wrestling titles.

In the past, Switch ports of video games have gotten a bad rap for having subpar quality that doesn't quite match up with their console counterparts. Now, this could be avoided with games like WWE 2K25 thanks to the Switch 2's more advanced specs. While there were other concerns, like WWE 2K25's not having a physical cartridge, the game still offers an immersive wrestling experience and the opportunity to crossplay with other fans. However, WWE 2K25 on the Switch 2 doesn't let players use Cross-platform Community Creations, which could quickly bring down its momentum.

WWE 2K25 Skipping Community Creations on the Switch 2 Is a Missed Opportunity

WWE games are known for allowing players to create their own wrestlers, from customizing their avatar's appearance to their move set. As the games got more advanced, WWE 2K introduced face scans, so fans could customize wrestlers that looked like them or create their own versions of superstars who aren't on the roster. It's a great avenue to showcase players' creativity and also share their work with others via the Community Creations gallery.

However, there are limitations when it comes to sharing WWE 2K25's Community Creations in crossplay. According to the game's official website, Community Creations can be shared between platforms of the same generation, which means that PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players can share content, but it's not accessible for Xbox One, Steam, and PlayStation 4 users. As for Switch 2 players, they aren't able to see image uploader-based creations from any platform.

Xbox One, Steam, and PlayStation 4 users can share Community Creations
PlayStation 5 and Xbox X|S users can share Community Creations
Xbox One, Steam, and PlayStation 4 Community Creations are not accessible on PlayStation 5 and Xbox X|S, and vice versa.
Switch 2 players cannot access Community Creations from any of the platforms mentioned above.

Considering how popular CAWs are in WWE 2K25 and its previous editions, it's definitely a shame that Switch 2 players won't have access to Community Creations from other platforms. The good news is that players can still create customized wrestlers that they can use in various WWE 2K25 match types - it will just be extra work for console players who might've wanted to get the game on their new handheld device as well. Additionally, it's possible that the Switch 2 version could eventually allow sharing with other Switch 2 players via codes, just like in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Even Without Cross-Platform Custom Creations, WWE 2K25 on Switch 2 Can Still Be Fun For Fans

WWE 2K25 isn't always about custom wrestlers, as there are also people who just want to use their favorite superstars while experiencing different matches. The game currently has the biggest roster to date, with playable wrestlers ranging from current stars to iconic legends. The roster continues to grow as WWE 2K25 DLC brings more superstars and special guests to the game, so players are definitely spoiled for choice if they want access to official WWE employees.

Now that it's on the Switch 2, it's easier to enjoy WWE 2K25 with friends in person thanks to the device's compact size and accessibility. With or without Community Creations from other platforms, there are now fresh avenues to experience the game with fellow fans, which is something to celebrate.
