In response to player feedback, WWE 2K26 has released a major update (Patch 1.07) to address the issues with progression and gameplay systems.
As a result, the Ringside Pass, which was deemed too grindy up until now, has been made more lenient: players now get free levels, and the cost in points (RXP) to progress has been reduced. Certain content, such as previously locked wrestlers, is also more easily accessible, limiting the frustration associated with the battle pass-like system. The much-criticized stamina system has been rebalanced to tire characters more gradually during matches. Finally, counters also consume less stamina in certain situations, making gameplay more fluid.
Overall, these changes aim to make the game more accessible and enjoyable, even though the developers acknowledge that a few problems remain yet.
