WWE 2K23 guide: How to play multiplayer

The latest iteration of the WWE franchise, WWE 2K23, hit the markets a few days ago, on March 14, 2023. Credit must be given to the developers for vastly improving upon last year’s edition, which was a big success due to the franchise falling back to its old roots in character and story development elements.

More than a terrific management sim, WWE 2K23 has put in a lot of effort in the in-ring action as well. The title offers a plethora of options for players to engage in wrestling matches, which include Showcase, Universe, MyGym, MyRise, online multiplayer, and various other game modes and features.

This feature will walk you through all the necessary steps you need to take to invite your friends over to have some memorable action in the ring.

To play matches online, you need to keep a few things in mind. Like previous entries, crossplay is not available in the title. Therefore, you’d need to ensure that you and your friends are connected to the same console.

Once you’ve ensured that everyone is on the same page, follow the following steps to connect online:

Step 1: Head over to the online section in the game’s menu.

Step 2: Click on Custom Match and give it a suitable name.

Step 3: Send invitations to your friends from the platform of your choice.

Step 4: Wait for your friends to accept the invitation and dive right into the action.
