The contents of WWE 2K24's Pat McAfee DLC pack have been confirmed, and it includes names such as Pat McAfee and Boston Connor, among several others. Since the WWE 2K24 Season Pass announcement, fans have been looking forward to the arrival of additional playable Superstars such as The Dudley Boyz, Jade Cargill, Carlito, and The Great Muta, among others. However, one announced pack has caused some controversy for being the vaguest of the bunch.

WWE 2K24's Pat McAfee pack, which will come out on July 24, had the additional notation of "stay tuned for more info" on its description. Many fans expressed their suspicions and assumptions regarding this little note and wondered what it meant. Some had assumed that it could mean the playable debut of fellow announcers such as Corey Graves, Michael Cole, and Byron Saxton. Others guessed that McAfee's podcast co-hosts could see their debut, much to the disbelief of many gamers.

WWE 2K24: How to Unlock Post Malone

Global phenomenon Post Malone will be making his wrestling debut in WWE 2K24. Here's how to unlock the star as a playable character.

As confirmed by Pat McAfee during an episode of the Pat McAfee show, WWE 2K24 will see the debut of McAfee's co-hosts. This includes celebrities such as AJ Hawk, Boston Connor, Darius Butler, Ty Schmitt, and Pat McAfee himself. The comments section featured a mixed set of reactions, with a majority expressing their shock and disappointment. Even with characters such as CM Punk joining the WWE 2K24 DLC roster, one of the fans' major gripes is that the roster slots occupied by McAfee and friends could have gone to missing characters such as NXT Superstars like Sol Ruca, Von Wagner, Lexis King, or Oba Femi.

  • Pat McAfee
  • AJ Hawk
  • Boston Connor
  • Darius Butler
  • Ty Schmitt
  • Co-Host Manager Cards for MyFaction
  • Superstar Cards for MyFaction

Amid the disappointment, some fans still expressed their intent on how to utilize the characters included in the pack. With McAfee's history in the NFL, some players have mentioned creating a football-inspired faction led by McAfee. A few had wished that former WWE and NFL Superstar Rob Gronkowski could've been included in the pack, but fortunately, WWE 2K24's Community Creations may be a way to appease those who want to creatively use the characters.

Still, with WWE 2K24's deep roster, players will have more options to choose from. McAfee's and his co-hosts aren't the only celebrities present in the roster, as Bad Bunny and Logan Paul are included in the base game. WWE 2K24 Soundtrack producer Post Malone will also be included in one of the DLC packs. These big names could help get eyes on the product and help expose WWE to non-wrestling fans in the world.
