WWE 2K25 will officially release next week, but early access through the Bloodline and Deadman editions of the game is now fully live. That’s important because the new 1.03 patch for 2K25 is pretty critical, especially if you’ve been trying to play online multiplayer and online-focused modes like The Island. There were several issues with connecting to The Island after early access began, but those have seemingly been remedied by the newest patch, and you can get full details of the patch below.

The focus of the patch is online play and connectivity, but there are also several improvements and fixes to MyFACTION, the Creation Suite, and Universe mode. Those include general fixes as well as specific fixes like Superstars not going over the 100 OVR threshold in MyRISE and custom weapons not showing up in Universe.
