WWE 2K26 Ringside Pass: Full List of DLC Packs, Release Dates, and More

WWE 2K26 is stuffed with new features, including highly-requested match types, new environment interactions, creation suite upgrades, and much more. However, one major change that is already proving to be unpopular is the rebranding of the game’s DLC Packs into a new package known as the Ringside Pass.

In previous WWE 2K games, the DLC offerings were straightforward. You purchased an add-on pack of your choosing and instantly received the new Superstars, arenas, and cosmetics that it carried. However, the WWE 2K26 Ringside Pass switches up the format in an interesting way, and we’ve got all the details on how it will work below, including a list of all confirmed DLC characters so far.

WWE 2K26 Ringside Pass Explained

The WWE 2K26 Ringside Pass is basically a Fortnite-style Battle Pass, where players can unlock rewards by gathering in-game XP. This pass format replaces traditional DLC packs and features 60 Free Tiers + 40 Premium/Paid Tiers. Rewards include new playable Superstars, customization items, VC, and more. There will be six Ringside Passes in total, and their release dates are listed below:

• Ringside Pass Season 1: March 6, 2026 (Launch)
• Ringside Pass Season 2: May 4, 2026
• Ringside Pass Season 3: June 29, 2026
• Ringside Pass Season 4: August 24, 2026
• Ringside Pass Season 5: October 19, 2026
• Ringside Pass Season 6: December 14, 2026

In simple terms, you’ll now need to play the game and gather XP across all modes, including MyRise, MyGM, Exhibition, and MyUniverse, to unlock new items instead of purchasing the pass and getting them instantly like in previous games. The items on offer will include the all-important DLC Superstars that can be added to your WWE 2K26 roster.

WWE 2K26 Ringside Pass Price

Each WWE 2K26 Ringisde Pass is priced at $9.99, and buying them all individually will cost you around $60. Of course, the game’s premium versions, such as the WWE 2K26 Attitude Era and WWE 2K26 King of Kings Editions, will include a set number of these passes at no extra cost. Check out an overview of the DLC offered in every edition below:

• WWE 2K26 Standard Edition: Free Rewards Track for all Seasons
• WWE 2K26 King of Kings Edition: Premium Ringside Pass for Season 1
• WWE 2K26 Attitude Era Edition: Premium Ringside Pass for Seasons 1-4
• WWE 2K26 Monday Night War Edition: Premium Ringside Pass for Seasons 1-6

It’s worth noting that Ringside Passes do not expire. So, if you’re unable to complete an ongoing rewards track before a brand-new pass is released, your rewards will not expire and you’ll still be able to collect them later.
