WWE 2K Returns to Mobile as Netflix Exclusive

WWE 2K is making a return to mobile gaming, with a new title set to launch exclusively on Netflix in Fall 2025.

The announcement was made through Netflix’s official X account, confirming that iOS and Android users will be able to access the game directly through the streaming giant’s app.

“Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for the ultimate smackdown from the comfort of your own phone. WWE 2K is coming to mobile in late 2025 exclusively on Netflix Games. This isn’t just another mobile game, this is your chance to live the most extreme, the most intense, the most dominant WWE experience right in the palm of your hands. So charge up your phone, prepare to become the champion of Netflix Games with WWE 2K on mobile.” stated CM Punk American professional wrestler, actor, and former mixed martial artist in Netflix’s announcement video.

This marks the first time in a decade that a WWE 2K title has been available on mobile devices. The last entry, WWE 2K15, was released in 2015 for iOS and Android but featured a significantly scaled-down experience compared to its console counterpart. 

One of the key user approachable points of Netflix’s mobile gaming initiative is its commitment to an ad-free experience with no additional fees or in-game purchases. This aligns with the company’s broader push into mobile gaming, which currently features over 120 titles, including exclusives like Poinpy, Football Manager 2024 Mobile, and the upcoming Monument Valley 3.

This partnership highlights Netflix’s growing commitment to gaming as it seeks to diversify its entertainment offerings. Meanwhile, analysts estimate that Netflix has invested approximately $1 billion in acquiring gaming studios and developing its gaming business. Still, despite this significant investment, engagement with Netflix’s gaming content remains relatively low. As of October 2024, fewer than 1% of Netflix’s global subscribers were playing its games daily.
