WWE 2K26: Which Version Should You Pre-Order?

The launch of WWE 2K26 is right around the corner, and pre-orders were recently opened to allow players to secure their copy of the game. While you might know you want to pre-order the game, or even if you don’t, you’ll need to know more about the various editions that WWE 2K26 offers before you make a final decision.

Each of the editions has a specific price point, but comes with drastically different content. You’ll also receive exclusive content if you pre-order before the release date of WWE 2K26, giving you additional incentive to lock in an edition before mid-March rolls around. If you’re still struggling to make a pre-order decision or simply want to know what your money is buying you, fear not. You can see all of the editions of WWE 2K26, their prices, and content in the guide below, along with our suggestion for which one to pre-order.

All Of The Editions In WWE 2K26 And What They Offer

In total, there are four different editions of WWE 2K26 that you can currently pre-order from any system marketplace or retailer. As you might expect, you start from the Standard Edition, which costs the normal amount for a new AAA game, and the editions get more expensive from there. However, the more expensive editions also come with a decent amount of in-game content that can give you a massive head start in the game mode of your choice.

Which WWE 2K26 Edition Should You Buy?

Now that you know all of the details about the editions in WWE 2K26, which edition is right for you?

As you might have guessed, the Monday Night Raw Edition is going to give you a huge head start across the board, as you unlock several packs, get seven days of early access, and plenty of starting VC. You also get every seasonal Ringside Pass, meaning you don’t have to buy any of them when a new season is released. If you know you’re going to buy each Ringside Pass anyway, then there’s really no point in not purchasing the Monday Night Raw Edition, as you’re going to spend extra money on the passes if you don’t buy that edition.

However, if you’re on the fence about WWE 2K26‘s future at all, then don’t drop $150 on that edition. Instead, the King of Kings Edition is likely right for you. You’re still getting some decent starting content and the Season 1 Ringside Pass, which gives you a chance to see if you’ll play the game beyond its first few months.

Of course, the Standard Edition is also perfectly fine for anyone who doesn’t feel like they’re going to be super invested in WWE 2K26 for an entire year. If you pre-order, you still get the Joe Hendry Pack, and you’re only spending $70 compared to $100 and above.
