WWE 2K23 guide - All trophies available in the game

Certain video games are much easier to 'Platinum' than others. WWE 2K23, the highly anticipated wrestling sports game from Visual Concepts, features 64 trophies, with many of these requiring a significant grind or superior skills to complete. While some of the trophies are fairly easy to obtain, if you want to truly complete this title, you must be prepared to spend some time in every single game mode and play on Legend difficulty.

Although some of these trophies are interesting and unique, others simply require you to play the game actively until you achieve certain in-game milestones. Nevertheless, WWE 2K23 isn't going to be an easy game to Platinum, but players don't have to spend real-life money to do so at the very least.

Other than playing in some MyFaction matches, players don't have to be online for any of these. If you want to know the trophy requirements of WWE 2K23, look no further.

What trophies can be unlocked in WWE 2K23?

Every single mode of WWE 2K23 is represented in the trophies for this game. You will certainly have to spend a significant amount of time in the 2K Spotlight mode, which is all about WWE superstar John Cena. You must overcome one of the greatest challenges of all time - defeat Super Cena (You Can’t See Me!).

While it was certainly a move that has divided the WWE 2K23 fanbase, Roman Reigns boasts an overall stat rating of 99. If you want to unlock all the trophies for this game, be prepared to do some serious work.

You will have to defeat Roman Reigns on Legend difficulty in WWE 2K23 without using any Payback moves. Furthermore, this must be done versus the AI, which will undoubtedly prove to be a difficult challenge.

You’ll need to complete both stories of WWE 2K23's MyRise mode, as well as join a wide variety of factions as The Lock. When it comes to The Legacy, you’ll essentially have to “ditch the baggage” by dropping your tag partner, as Shawn Michaels did before you.

Another difficult challenge on this list has to be Unfinished Business. This requires you to get revenge for Kofi Kingston by defeating Brock Lesnar in a normal 1-on-1 match on Legend difficulty. WWE 2K23 is calling back to a previous match here, where Brock Lesnar squashed Kofi for the WWE Championship on October 4, 2019. Interestingly, the entire match lasted less than 10 seconds.

You will have to spend a significant amount of time in the MyFaction mode in WWE 2K23. While you don’t need to spend real money to play, it might help you receive stronger cards from the start.

You can purchase one of the other editions of WWE 2K23. However, you shouldn't have to spend real money, but simply grind through the mode until you hit all of the particular milestones.

If you don’t want to play as a custom superstar, that’s perfectly fine, but in WWE 2K23, you will have to at least spend a bit of time in the customizing suite. For the That’s Random, Here Comes the BOOM! and I Made This trophies, you’ll to mess around with those systems.

While it will take a significant amount of work, it’s possible for anyone willing to spend enough time and skill in WWE 2K23 to unlock the Platinum trophy. Considering how many fights require Legend difficulty, it may take some players longer than expected.
