WWE 2K25 is here, and if you pre-ordered, you’ve got some serious content waiting for you. But before you go looking for your bonus superstars and in-game perks, know this—some of them aren’t handed to you on a silver platter. They need to be unlocked, and some won’t even be available at launch. Yeah, they make you work for it.
This is your full guide to every WWE 2K25 pre-order bonus and how to get them.

How to access WWE 2K25 pre-order bonuses, early access rewards, and DLC content

Pre-orders come with perks, but they don’t all show up right away. When you launch the game, you’ll get a notification confirming your pre-order rewards. Some of them, like the Wyatt Sicks Pack, will be available instantly. Others? You’ll have to unlock them manually.

Here’s what you get for pre-ordering any edition of WWE 2K25:

Wyatt Sicks Pack (playable characters: Uncle Howdy, Dexter Lumis, Nikki Cross, Joe Gacy, Erick Rowan)
Next-gen exclusive content (PS5/Xbox Series X|S only): Uncle Howdy and Nikki Cross masks for The Island mode
WWE 2K24 Standard Edition (Digital Pre-Orders Only) – Added to your account within 24 hours. Canceled pre-orders remove access.

Some of these bonuses require MyFACTION mode to claim. More on that below.

MyFACTION mode is the key to unlocking WWE 2K25 pre-order and special edition rewards

If you bought Deadman Edition or The Bloodline Edition, don’t expect your bonus superstars to magically appear in the roster. WWE 2K25 locks them behind MyFACTION mode, and you have to open the packs yourself.

Complete the MyFACTION tutorial. It won’t let you skip it, so sit through it.
Go to the Store tab. Use the shoulder buttons on your controller.
Scroll to Unopened Packs. This is where all your pre-order and edition bonuses are waiting.
Open the packs. Once opened, your new superstars get added to the game.

What’s inside? Depends on your edition.

Deadman Edition: Mattel Elite Undertaker Persona Cards, Undertaker ‘90, Usable Urn, Undertaker ‘95 Mask (PS5/Xbox exclusive), Brother Love Manager.
Bloodline Edition: Jey Uso and Roman Reigns Persona Cards, The Island cosmetics (PS5/Xbox exclusive), The Rock Nation of Domination Pack.
WrestleMania 41 Pack: Two WrestleMania 41 Main Event Superstars (TBA), a new superstar Persona Card (TBA), and WrestleMania 41 Arena. This one isn’t dropping until Summer 2025.

If your content isn’t showing up, restart the game or check for updates.
