How to play WWE 2K24 early

There are two ways to play WWE 2K24 early access, both of which come at a cost. To play WWE 2K24 early, you need to purchase either the Deluxe Edition or 40 Years of Wrestlemania Edition—both of which come with three days early access, beginning March 5.

Those editions cost considerably more than the Standard Edition, which retails for $64.99 and provides a cross-gen bundle as standard, with the Deluxe Edition costing $89.99 and the 40 Years of Wrestlemania Edition priced at $104.99.

Each edition also comes with a wealth of other benefits alongside early access, with the Deluxe Edition providing the Nightmare Family Pack, a Season Pass, a MyRISE Mega-Boost, SuperCharger, MyFACTION Gold Cards for cover stars Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair, along with alternate attire for both athletes.

The 40 Years of Wrestlemania Edition gives you access to all of the bonuses from the Deluxe Edition, as well as the Forty Years of Wrestlemania Pack that includes the Showcase Superstars Roster unlock, the WrestleMania 40 arena, and a variety of WrestleMania playable characters with alternate designs and MyFACTION cards for each of them.
