Earlier today, we discussed three new changes coming to WWE 2k20, In the announcement, 2K stated that new changes were coming to online play and MyPlayer mode; specifically, MyPlayer Mode will now feature creatable female wrestlers and changes to the online mode. Players will now have the opportunity to create lobbies and complete daily challenges. For more detailed information, head over to our Online Lobbies Return post. In addition to the previous announcement, 2K has stated that a series of new updates are coming to WWE 2K20 Universe Mode. The WWE Universe is about to expand.
Last year we sat down with WWE 2k19. This is the first WWE title I had played since Smackdown vs Raw 2012. Although WWE 2k19 could be fun at times, it had a bit of a learning curve. The game was more enjoyable when simulating matches or when playing with friends. WWE 2K19’s Universe Mode was rather lackluster and left us asking for more. In fact, other than a few weeks of simulations we pretty much skipped this mode. Hopefully, these new additions will improve WWE 2K20 Universe Mode for the better. So what new features are coming to WWE 2K20’s Universe Mode? Surprisingly a lot. New match limits, custom matches, and promo lines are just a few of the new additions. Below is the official list of changes coming to WWE 2K20 Universe Mode.
New WWE 2K20 Universe Mode Additions!
- Major and minor show match limits have increased from 7 to 9.
- Pay-Per-View match limits have doubled from 7 to 14.

Release Date
The new additions to WWE 2K20 Universe Mode sound exciting and maybe a hint as to what is to come in the new future for WWE. Earlier this month, WWE’s NXT debuted on TV so this could possibly be why the Pay-Per-Views system has changed. Interestingly enough, all images for WWE 2K20 have a PlayStation 4 controller being used. WWE 2K20 is scheduled to be released on October 22nd. 2019 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Windows PC.
