Ever since 2012, Take-Two has released a WWE title annually. the latest version WWE 2K18 was available for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The game traditionally releases for PS4 and XB1 in October and a little later for PC. However, last year's PC version hit on the same day as the consoles, October 17.
The Switch version arrived in December.
Despite some unfavorable Metacritic scores, the game sold more than 1.7 million across the PS4, XB1, and Nintendo Switch platforms. I scored WWE 2K18 an 8.3 because of its improved gameplay and massive creation suite, but many still lament some of the series' legacy issues.
Stay tuned for more information on the game as it becomes available, including the official release date.
