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

WWE 2K26 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting releases in the long-running franchise. The game is set to introduce highly-requested match types, environment interactions, creation suite upgrades, and much more. However, one major change that could prove 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 Ringside Pass will switch up in this format in an interesting way, and we’ve got all the details on how it will work in WWE 2K26 below.

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 will replace traditional DLC packs and feature 60 Free Tiers + 40 Premium/Paid Tiers. Rewards will 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 Attitude Era and King of Kings Editions, will come with a specific quantity 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.
