Users who lost their save data have not had it recovered, with one individual receiving confirmation from 2K support that the data is irretrievable. Nonetheless, some affected users mentioned retaining partial portions of their previous save data. On a positive note, this issue emerged early in WWE 2K24's lifecycle and did not erase extensive progress made over weeks or months. Looking ahead, WWE 2K24 has unveiled the complete roster of Superstars joining the game.

The upcoming additions feature renowned wrestlers like CM Punk and Jade Cargill, along with external personalities such as Post Malone and Pat McAfee. The return of CM Punk to the game series after a decade-long absence from WWE, preceding his appearance in 2023's WarGames, brought relief to many fans.

Regarding the recent controversies involving Vince McMahon, WWE 2K24 opted to obscure the former chairman's face in most scenes. This decision aligns with WWE and its parent company's broader strategy to distance themselves from the now-controversial figure.
