WWE 2K20 hit stores in late October to poor reviews from critics and fans alike. So broken was the overall experience that players joined forces online to get #FixWWE2K20 trending on Twitter. Not too long thereafter, developer Visual Concepts released a patch to quell some of the more troubling issues.
In a recent earnings call, publisher Take-Two Interactive expressed disappointment with the unfavorable reviews and fan feedback. However, Take-Two President Karl Slatoff noted that by continuing to improve the title, WWE 2K’s community may experience growth.
