Free Play for WWE 2K25 During Summerslam Weekend

Alright, so get this — the WWE mania is about to hit MetLife Stadium like never before. We’re talking SummerSlam, first time ever stretched over two nights. Imagine the chaos, the drama, the noise! While that’s going down, fans can dive into their own wrestling fantasies with WWE 2K25. It’s free to play this weekend. Yeah, you heard me.

So, circle July 31 to August 3 on your calendar. Free matches await! Only thing is, if you’re on Xbox, you gotta have one of those fancy subscriptions — Game Pass Ultimate, Standard, or Core; something like that. Minor hassle, but figured I’d mention it.

Now for my PC folks, all you gotta do is hit the store page, click “play game,” and let the chaos download. Easy-peasy! Oh, and about the Steam Deck… haven’t tried it myself, but from what I’ve snooped around on ProtonDB, seems it’s running great — almost suspiciously smooth. Maybe I’ll try it. Or not.

Funny enough, 2K25 is still chugging along on Xbox One neatly, which is kind of a big deal given how new it is. Didn’t see that coming.

Okay, about gameplay — such a mix bag! Some parts are epic, others… well, not so much. But stick with me. I’m not the wrestling game guru or anything, but playing WWE 2K25 has been a ride. My top tip? Dive into MyRise mode. It’s the story mode and honestly, it’s more gripping than I expected. Who knew decisions in wrestling games could lead to multiple endings? Not me!

Oh, but before I forget — MyFaction. Unless you’re gonna go all-in and buy the game later, maybe skip it. I mean, why bother?

Now, if you somehow get around or lean towards console gaming, head to The Island and check out the Bray Wyatt storyline — doesn’t require much to dive in and it’s got some never-before-seen footage. Neat, right? It sits in the Deadlands, by the way.

And then there’s Showcase mode. It’s all about the Bloodline with Paul Heyman chatting away, guiding you through some legendary matches. You can even rewrite history, WWE style. Wild, huh?

Look, I’m rambling but you probably won’t cover everything in just this weekend. But hey, give it a shot, you might stumble upon something awesome.

Final thought — Cody or Cena? Just curious.
