WWE 2K22 receives a major discount for Black Friday 2022, allowing pro wrestling fans to save on WWE's latest game and DLC content. The Black Friday sales won't last long, so those interested in purchasing WWE 2K22 should act before the end of November comes along.
WWE 2K22 is the latest wrestling game by 2K with the most prolific WWE superstars from past and present rosters. These renowned superstars include The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Seth Rollins, and Matt Riddle. Players could also create their own superstars and rise through the wrestling ranks in MyRise or challenge the legacy of the NWO by creating a legendary faction in MyFaction. This Black Friday, wrestling fans can save up to 67% on WWE 2K22 by visiting digital storefronts on consoles, but the huge discounts won't last long.
PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users can save 67% off on WWE 2K22, bringing the standard edition's price down to $19.79 for a limited time. The WWE 2K22 Cross-Gen Digital Bundle is not discounted in the Black Friday sale, but players can save 50% off on the game's most expensive and content-rich bundle. WWE 2K22 NWO 4-Life Edition is on sale for just $59.99 featuring the WWE 2K22 Cross-Gen Digital Bundle, Season Pass, Undertaker Immortal Pack, Rey Mysterio Pack, and playable NWO superstars. The 50% off discount allows players to fully experience WWE 2K22 and all the game's DLC on the latest hardware from PlayStation and Xbox. The WWE 2K22 Black Friday sale lasts until November 28, so players have roughly ten days to save on their pro wrestling purchase.
Standard editions of WWE 2K22 are backwards compatible on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, but the game lacks next-gen optimizations found within the Cross-Gen Digital Bundle. NWO 4-Life Edition provides the best value in the entire sale, as it contains all of WWE 2K22's DLC and the native next-gen version. For example, Xbox One users who purchase WWE 2K22 NWO 4-Life Edition may play the Xbox Series X|S version after obtaining the console.
WWE 2K23 is likely coming soon, but wrestling fans can get a head start by looking into WWE 2K22 while it's on sale. The controls should be very similar between both games, so players that familiarize themselves with WWE 2K22 may benefit from the time spent in-game once the next title arrives. Many fan-requested changes could arrive in WWE 2K23 with WWE 2K22 serving as a solid foundation.
Wrestling fans can experience the best features of WWE 2K22 during this year's Black Friday sale including the game's creation suite. One fan was able to create God of War Ragnarok's Kratos in WWE 2K22 for all players to enjoy, for instance.
WWE 2K22 is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
