WWE 2K18 (2017) expanded the franchise with the largest roster in series history at the time and significantly upgraded visuals. Released on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and later Switch, it featured new lighting, improved character models, and enhanced entrances. Seth Rollins was the cover star, highlighting WWE’s “New Era.”

Gameplay added the “Carry System,” allowing players to position opponents for slams and finishers more dynamically. Universe and Career Modes were refined, though the Switch version was criticized for technical issues. WWE 2K18 is remembered as ambitious but uneven, excelling on stronger hardware but struggling elsewhere.
