WWE 2K25 on Switch 2 Is Missing Some Features

WWE 2K25 has finally arrived on the Nintendo Switch 2, but not without raising a few eyebrows. While WWE 2K25's Switch 2 version includes most of the bells and whistles from its PS5 and Xbox counterparts, it's missing two major features that many fans consider essential to the experience.

Fans of the WWE 2K series know that this is hardly the first time an entry has faced issues on a Nintendo platform. WWE 2K18 and WWE 2K Battlegrounds launched on the original Switch in 2017 and 2020, respectively, to widespread criticism due to performance issues, bugs, and unplayable framerates. The Switch 2's stronger internals have allowed 2K to bring WWE 2K25 to the new Nintendo console, with an experience mostly on par with the game's PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions.

WWE 2K25 is officially out on the Switch 2, but it's missing one popular feature that may or may not affect the new port's momentum.

However, WWE 2K25 on Switch 2 comes with two big omissions. While 2K has included all core WWE 2K25 gameplay modes and content on Switch 2, this version of the game misses out on two pillars of the community experience: cross-platform community creations and the image uploader. The absence of cross-platform sharing means Switch 2 players are isolated from the broader WWE 2K community - unable to download wrestlers, arenas, or logos made by users on PlayStation, Xbox, or PC.

Even more limiting is the lack of an image uploader, which normally allows users to import custom graphics to faithfully recreate real-world figures not officially in WWE 2K games. This is a hefty blow to WWE 2K25 creators who rely on these tools to build their dream rosters. These limitations were confirmed on 2K's official support page, stating: "Nintendo Switch 2 players will not see Image Uploader-based Community Creations from any platform or be able to upload their own." No technical reason has been given, and considering the Switch 2's capable hardware and the fact that image uploading in WWE 2K25 is supported on weaker systems like PS4 and Xbox One, the decision has left fans baffled.

The running theory among fans is that the image uploader's exclusion may be due to the volume of NSFW or offensive content that frequently appears in the WWE 2K25 Community Creations hub, which Nintendo would likely be keen to avoid on Switch 2. If this is indeed the real reason, image uploading might never come to WWE 2K25's Switch 2 version, which would be disappointing for a franchise where customization is king. Hopefully, 2K and Nintendo can work out a way to moderate the content uploaded to Community Creations more effectively, possibly allowing for WWE 2K25's image uploader to be added to Switch 2.
