WWE 2K26 releases on all platforms this March, and the devs are touting some major upgrades to the gameplay, presentation, creation suite, and much more. Naturally, excitement around the game is slowly ramping up as 2K slowly unveils details on what players can expect. Speaking of which, the publisher has also revealed the game’s PC requirements, and the spec sheet is interesting, to say the least.
With the franchise finally ditching last-gen consoles, coupled with the Island’s debut on PC, the requirements are noticeably heftier than last year. If you’re looking to prepare your rig before its release date, here are the WWE 2K26 PC requirements.
WWE 2K26 PC System Requirements
The WWE 2K26 PC requirements are pretty standard as far as AAA releases are concerned. The game’s hardware requirements include:
| Components | WWE 2K26 Minimum Requirements | WWE 2K26 Recommended Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Core i7-4770 / AMD Ryzen 5 1500x | Intel Core i7-7700 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600 |
| GPU | Nvidia RTX 2060 / AMD RX 5700 | Nvidia RTX 3060 / AMD RX 6700XT |
| RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| VRAM | 6 GB | 12 GB |
| Storage | 120 GB available space | 120 GB available space |
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit | Windows 10 64-bit |
| Additional Notes | CPU must support AVX2 & F16C | CPU must support AVX2 & F16C |
As you can see above, the WWE 2K26 system requirements are significantly more demanding than those of its predecessor. For comparison, 2K25’s minimum GPU requirement was the GTX 1060, while WWE 2K26 asks for a generational leap with the GTX 2060. These requirements are indicative of the visual upgrades the game has in store, with the devs confirming changes to character models, depth of field, and physics interactions, among other things.
Additionally, the PC port will also receive all the new WWE 2K26 gameplay features, which include new match types, weapons, and WWE 2K’s open-world sandbox: The Island.
WWE 2K26 Download Size For PC
The WWE 2K26 download size for PC will be around 120 GB. Of course, that figure is a placeholder for the time being, but we’d recommend freeing up at least 125 GB of free space to prepare for the game’s arrival.
WWE 2K25, for comparison, landed at 107 GB on PC, while its Steam page listed 103 GB as the requirement. 2K26, with all of its next-gen bells and whistles, is all set to surpass that figure, so make sure your SSD is prepared. Some players might be shocked to see such storage demands, but 100 GB+ file sizes have been the standard for WWE 2K games since 2K16.
And that wraps up our guide on the WWE 2K26 PC requirements. If you’re interested in pre-ordering the game, check out our WWE 2K26 hub for an overview of all the editions and their prices.
